+ Abstract: Mouse Balls Available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit)
+
+ Mouse balls are now available as FRU. Therefore, if a mouse
+ fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a
+ ball replacement. Because of the delicate nature of this
+ procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by
+ properly trained personnel.
+
+ Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining
+ the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and
+ harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ
+ depending upon manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be
+ replaced using the pop-off method. Domestic balls are replaced
+ using the twist-off method. Mouse balls are not usually static
+ sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden
+ discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be
+ used immediately.
+
+ It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls
+ for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction. Any customer
+ missing his balls should suspect local personnel of removing
+ these necessary items.
+
+ To re-order, specify one of the following:
+
+ P/N 33f8462 - Domestic Mouse Balls
+ P/N 33f8461 - Foreign Mouse Balls
