6. Maintenance

• Keep the mouse clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth.
• Avoid exposing the mouse to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Do not disassemble the mouse, as this will void the warranty.

7. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty moving the mouse smoothly: It is recommended to use the mouse with a mouse pad for optimal tracking performance.
• Side buttons not working: The forward/back buttons are not compatible with Mac or iOS systems. This is expected behavior.
• Mouse not responding:
  1. Check if the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
