Troubleshooting

Solution:

• If you connect the mouse to the USB

port, check if your PC’s USB port is
working properly. Look on the Device
Manager of System Properties. If
there is a circled exclamation point
through the icon, it means this USB
controller has some problem. Try to
remove and re-install it or contact
your PC manufacturer’s technical
support.

enabled.

• If you connect the mouse to the USB
port, make sure the USB port was
enabled in the BIOS setup.

Problem:

screen or the pointer is not responding to
the mouse’s movement.

Solution:

Your computer did not detect
the mouse. Make sure your mouse’s ca­ble is properly connected to the correct
port.

Care

Keep the mouse dry; if it gets wet, wipe it
dry immediately. Use and store the
mouse only in normal temperature envi­ronments. Handle the mouse carefully;
do not drop it. Keep the mouse away
from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a
damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking
new.

Modifying or tampering with the mouse’s
internal components can cause a mal­function. If your mouse is not performing
as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance.

Note:

Your mouse is optical, and does
not use a ball. You do not need to clean
the mouse like a ball-type mouse.
