IBM H80 Series manual Caring for the Mouse

Caring for the Mouse

Make sure that the operating surface for the mouse is smooth, clean, and flat. For example, you can operate the mouse on the following surfaces:

ŸFinished wood

ŸGlass

ŸEnamel

ŸPlastic

ŸPaper (except newspaper)

ŸMetal

Rough

surfaces collect contaminants

that

can

be transferred to the interior

of

the

mouse

by

the

ball. Rough

surfaces

can

also

cause the pads located

on the

bottom

of the mouse to prematurely wear.

A deeply pitted surface could cause erratic

operation

of

the

mouse.

The

surface you use should be free from

spills,

dirt,

dust,

lint,

wax,

eraser

dust,

and

other

foreign

matter.

Additional things to check:

Ÿ Inspect the work surface for spills or other contaminants.

Ÿ Dust the work surface.

Ÿ If you are using a paper pad, inspect it for wear and replace it if necessary.
