Battery Warning – Important!
When battery power is low for the
mouse or keyboard, the
MouseWare’ software displays a
dialog box under Windows’
95/Windows’ 98 and Windows
NT’4.0 suggesting that you change
the batteries. It is recommended
that when you change batteries
you change them for the mouse
and keyboard at the same time to
optimize performance. When
replacing the batteries, use only
Duracell alkaline batteries. Note
that the battery level indicator in
the Cordless tab of the Keyboard
Properties or the Mouse Properties
is calibrated for Duracell alkaline batteries only.
Discard all used batteries according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.
Exercise care when handling batteries. When batteries are misused, they may
explode or leak, causing burns and personal injury. Do not open a battery or
mutilate, dispose of in a fire, expose to heat above 212° F (100° C), immerse in
water, install improperly, or recharge. Conducting materials, such as rings,
bracelets, and keys, can short out a battery causing it to overheat and possibly
leak or explode. When you are not using your cordless device for long periods of
time, remove the batteries and store them in a dry place at normal room
temperature.

4Connecting the Receiver
The Logitech Cordless Desktop uses digital radio technology. Communication
between the Logitech Cordless Desktop – keyboard and mouse – and your computer
is achieved with great reliability using radio waves. The Cordless Keyboard and
Cordless Wheel Mouse do not have bulky cables that can get in the way, nor do they
use infrared technology, which requires line-of-sight placement and usage. Instead,
both the keyboard and mouse with radio frequencies as a means of communicating,
which are picked up by the receiver and passed on to your computer.
The receiver is connected to your computer via two color-coded cables. The cable
with the orange end is for the keyboard, and it plugs into your computer’s keyboard
port. (A 5-pin DIN adapter is provided should you need to plug this cable into an IBM
AT keyboard port.) And the cable with the green end is for the mouse, and it plugs
into your computer’s mouse port. A 9-pin serial port adapter is provided should you
need to connect this cable to your computer’s serial port.
CAUTION: Before installing the receiver’s cables, turn off your computer.
Plugging or unplugging cables to your computer’s mouse port
while the computer is on can damage the mouse port or your
computer.
1. Make sure that your computer is turned
off.
2. Note the difference between the mouse
and keyboard cable ends. The mouse
cable end is green and has a mouse icon.
The keyboard cable end is orange and has a
keyboard icon. You will plug each cable end
into different ports on your computer. (Also
note the serial port adapter for the mouse
cable and the AT adapter for the keyboard
cable.)
3. Connect the receiver’s
green mouse cable to the
computer’s 6-pin mouse
port or its 9-pin serial port
using the 9-pin adapter.
Make sure to match up the
mouse icon on the cable end with the mouse icon next to the mouse port on your
computer. (Some computers may not have this mouse icon.)
If you are connecting the mouse cable to the mouse port, remove the serial port
adapter. When using the 9-pin serial port adapter, connect the adapter to the
computer port, tighten the thumb screws, and connect the mouse cable to the
adapter. Be sure to line up the arrows on both the cable and the adapter.

4. Connect the receiver’s orange keyboard cable to the computer’s keyboard
port. Make sure to match up the keyboard icon on the cable end with the
keyboard icon next to the keyboard port on your computer. (Some computers
may not have this keyboard icon.)
If you are installing the keyboard cable to an IBM AT keyboard port, use the 5-pin
DIN connector already attached to the keyboard cable. If you are connecting the
cable to a 6-pin mini-Din port, remove the AT adapter.
5 Installing the Software

FT-30
5.10.01 © E.L.B. Ex-Geräte Bachmann Rev. 1.9 Page 13
3. If dirty, clean the roller(s) using a cotton swab moistened lightly with isopropyl
(rubbing) alcohol. After cleaning, make sure the roller(s) are still centered in their
channels. Make sure that fluff from the swab is not left on the roller(s).
4. Replace the ball and retainer ring.
8 Troubleshooting
Mouse or Keyboard Does Not Work upon Installation
Try one or more of the following:
Make sure you have connected the receiver correctly. The orange cable end goes into
the computer’s keyboard port and the green cable end goes into either a mouse or serial
port.
For optimal performance, place the receiver at least eight inches or 20 centimeters
away from the keyboard, mouse, or other electrical devices, such as the computer, the
computer monitor, or external drives.
Make sure you have installed the batteries correctly.
Manually establish communication between the receiver and the mouse/keyboard:
Non Ex version of receiver (FR-30):
Press the Connect button on the receiver, then press the channel button on the mouse
(see picture). Press the Connect button again on the receiver, then press
the channel button on the keyboard.
Ex version of receiver (FR-10):
Open the cover of the EEx receiver box type FR-30 and connect terminal 1 with terminal
2 for a short moment until a message box appears on the screen,
then press the channel button on the mouse.
Connect terminals again on the EEx receiver, then press the channel button
on the keyboard.
If you are working on a metallic surface, try using a mouse pad and turning the receiver
on its side for better reception.
Refer to ”Mouse Not Detected” for additional remedies.
FT-30
5.10.01 © E.L.B. Ex-Geräte Bachmann Rev. 1.9 Page 14
Mouse Not Detected
When using the mouse, it may not be detected by the computer. To remedy this
problem, try the following:
Make sure the mouse receiver cable (with the green end) is plugged into the right
port – serial or mouse port.
Make sure your serial (or mouse) port has the proper configuration. Refer to your
computer documentation for the correct port configuration.
You may have other system devices (e.g. a modem card) that conflict with the
mouse. Check the IRQ/address settings of these devices for conflicts, and
change the settings as required.
The Screen Cursor Does Not Move Properly or the Keyboard Does Not Display
Characters on the Screen When You Type
Clean the mouse ball and roller(s). See ”Mouse Maintenance” for more information.
Also change the position of your radio receiver, because it may be too far from the
mouse or keyboard or the computer monitor or a large metal object may be
interfering with the receiver’s radio reception. Try moving the receiver and/or mouse
to improve reception. Or the mouse batteries may be nearly dead. Check the mouse
batteries as described in ”Mouse or Keyboard Does Not Work upon Installation,” and
replace the batteries if required.
You may also need to change the channel for the keyboard/mouse. The computer
must be on and the receiver plugged in correctly. Press and release the Channel
button on the keyboard; the green Connect light on the receiver should blink. Press
and release the Channel button on the mouse; the green Connect light should blink
on the receiver.
