Rough surfaces collect contaminants that can be transferred to the interior of the mouse
by the ball. Rough surfaces can also cause the pads located on the bottom of the
mouse to prematurely wear. A deeply pitted surface could cause erratic operation of the
mouse. The surface you use should be free from spills, dirt, dust, lint, wax, eraser dust,
and other foreign matter.
To care for the mouse:
v Inspect the work surface for spills or other contaminants.
v Dust the work surface.
v If you are using a paper pad, inspect it for wear and replace it if necessary.
