  Cleaning the trackball 
 
Tools: Paper, dry cloth or mild soapy water 
 
Method:   
For the stable performance of the system, you should perform periodical cleaning for 
the trackball. A dumb cursor may be resulted from dirt inside the trackball. 
a)  Disassembling: 
Rotate the trackball clamp ring 35 degrees anticlockwise. When the clamping ring 
lifts, remove the clamping ring and trackball. You can draw out the ball with the 
help of adhesive tape. See the figures below. 
 
 
b)  Cleaning: 
Clean the lens slightly using the tissue until there is no foreign matter. Then clean 
the other parts and the dust excluder. Make sure to exert force properly when 
clean the small ball, otherwise, the small ball may drop down. See the figure 
below. 
No system shutdown is required during the whole clean. Reinstall the ball and 
clamp ring after the clean is finished. 
 
When liquid is spray onto the trackball area, most of the liquid can be discharged 
through the waterspout, besides, you can dry the leaving water using the tissue 
or cloth.
