USB Adapter
You must connect the Bluetooth USB Adapter to an available Universal Serial Bus (USB)
port on your computer.
Note: Your USB Adapter is sensitive to static electricity, which can damage its delicate
electrical components. Electrostatic charges can be acquired simply by dry weather
conditions or they can occur when you walk across carpeted floors. To protect your
device, always touch the metal chassis of your computer before handling the USB
Adapter, or any internal computer component. This will ground a potential electrostatic
discharge. Avoid touching the metal connector when handling the USB Adapter.
There are two ways to connect your USB Adapter:
1. Connect the USB Adapter directly to an available USB A-type connector on your
desktop or notebook computer.
2. Connect the USB Adapter to the included USB base stand, and then connect the
other end of the cable to an available USB A-type connector on your desktop or
notebook computer. This is recommended for desktop computers.

The following steps will allow you to establish the initial connection between your
Wireless Desktop and computer. Once a connection is established, your computer will
automatically connect every time to boot your computer. If for any reason the Desktop
does not reconnect at boot-up, follow the pairing and connection procedures on page 24.
Note: You must have a functional keyboard other than the Bluetooth Keyboard connected to
your computer to complete the hardware installation. Please do not remove any attached
keyboards until you have confirmed that your Bluetooth Keyboard is operational.
Inserting the Batteries
The Keyboard requires four AA batteries and the Mouse requires two AA batteries to run
(included). When it becomes necessary to replace them, be sure to use new batteries only;
we recommend alkaline batteries. Rechargeable batteries may be used as well.
To insert the batteries:
1. Turn the Keyboard and Mouse upside down, and remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert the new batteries. Make sure to properly orient the positive (+) and
negative (-) ends as indicated on the battery compartment label.
3. Close the battery compartment cover.
Important: Before boarding any aircraft, remove the batteries from the Wireless
Desktop. The Desktop can transmit radio frequency energy, much like cellular phones,
whenever the batteries are installed.
Please refer to the “Battery and Safety Information”section on page 36 for more
information regarding the handling and usage of batteries.
