Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the mouse, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the mouse's surface.

Troubleshooting

• Mouse not responding:
  • Ensure the mouse is switched to the "ON" position.
  • Check if the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
