Chapter 5: Maintaining Your Computer
To clean a CRT monitor, use a soft cloth and glass cleaner to clean the monitor screen.
Squirt a little cleaner on the cloth (never directly on the screen), and wipe the screen with
the cloth.
Cleaning the mouse
If the mouse pointer begins moving erratically across the computer screen or becomes
difficult to control precisely, cleaning the mouse will likely improve its accuracy.
To clean your optical mouse:
■ Wipe the bottom of the mouse with a damp lint-free cloth
To clean your trackball mouse:
1
Turn the mouse upside down.
2
Rotate the retaining ring on the bottom of the mouse counter-clockwise, then remove
the retaining ring and mouse ball.
3
Remove any dust, lint, or dirt from the mouse ball with a soft cloth.
Caution
A flat panel display or computer LCD screen is made of specially
coated glass and can be scratched or damaged by abrasive or
ammonia-based glass cleaners.
