GENERAL CONTROL
PANEL
We do not anticipate that you will have
any problems with your Dual Wheel
Scrolling Trackball; however, if the
mouse or cursor stop operating properly, try replacing the mouse driver as described in this section. If that does not
work, take the mouse to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
Caution: Unless you are
about which version mouse driver you
are using, we do not recommend that
you change your mouse driver. If you
select the wrong driver version, the
mouse cursor will not move.
.
Checking the Driver Version
If the mouse does not appear to be operating properly with certain software,
check that software’s user’s manual to
find the recommended mouse driver
version, then check to see which version
you are currently using.
To check which mouse driver version
you are using:

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your RadioShack Dual Wheel Scroll Trackball Mouse is an example of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your mouse
so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the mouse dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might
contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Use and store the mouse only in normal temperature environments.
Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, and
distort or melt plastic parts.
Keep the mouse away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature
wear of parts.
Handle the mouse gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit
boards and cases and can cause the mouse to work improperly.
Wipe the mouse with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
Do not use harsh chemic als, cleaning solvents , or strong deterge nts to
clean the mouse.
Modifying or tampering with the mouse’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty. If your mouse is not performing as it should,
take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
