Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and smooth tracking, regular cleaning of the trackball is recommended.

Cleaning the Trackball

1. Turn off the mouse power using the switch on the bottom.
2. Firmly grip the trackball with your thumb and index finger and slowly pull it out of its housing. Handle with care to avoid dropping or scratching the surface.
3. Gently clean the ball housing with a cleaning cloth. For stubborn stains, use a slightly damp cotton swab. Avoid getting moisture inside the mouse.
4. Wipe the removed trackball clean with a dry cleaning cloth.
5. Put the cleaned trackball back into its original position in the mouse.

Notes:

• For optimal performance, please clean the trackball weekly.
• Do not use alcohol or harsh detergents, as they may damage the ball surface. If a mild detergent is used, rinse thoroughly with water and allow the ball to dry completely in a well-ventilated area.
• If the ball still does not roll smoothly after cleaning, apply a small amount of hand cream evenly over the entire surface using a soft cloth. Wipe off any excess afterward.
• Take care during cleaning to avoid damaging the optical sensor.

If you encounter any issues with your ProtoArc EM02 mouse, please try the following general troubleshooting steps:

• No Connection: Ensure the mouse is powered on and fully charged. For 2.4GHz, check if the USB receiver is properly inserted. For Bluetooth, ensure your device's Bluetooth is enabled and the mouse is in pairing mode. Try re-pairing the device.
• Lagging/Unresponsive Cursor: Clean the trackball as described in the Maintenance section. Ensure there are no obstructions between the mouse and the receiver/device. Check for low battery.
• Buttons Not Working: Verify the mouse is connected. For Mac OS, note that forward/backward buttons may not be compatible.
