1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Memorex RF5700 series wireless
RF keyboard and mouse! This keyboard and mouse will finally free you of
the constraints of your desktop by providing a wireless connection
between your keyboard/mouse and your PC. Pass around the keyboard
or mouse during meetings without having to bother about a cable
blocking your way or write e-mails and surf the Internet from the comfort
of your living room couch!
The RF5700 series keyboard and mouse kit consists of a keyboard, a
mouse and a receiver. The receiver is connected to your PC through a
cable with both a keyboard and mouse connector. The keyboard and
mouse can operate freely within a radius of at least 4.92 feet from the
receiver, which itself has a maximum range from your PC of around 4.92
feet. Because the keyboard and mouse use radio frequencies to
transmit the wireless signal it has no constrictions on viewing angles such
as with infrared devices like your TV’s remote control, etc.
Besides providing unprecedented freedom of movement when
operating the keyboard or mouse, the kit also offers more extra
functionality by introducing dedicated buttons for often used Internet
browser functions as well as Sleep functions. (Please note: The Internet
keys work only under MicrosoftInternet Explorer 5.0 or later version!).
And last but not least, this package also provides a special driver, which
provides unique shortcut functions.
In order to enjoy your keyboard and mouse to their full potential we
recommended you read this manual carefully prior to installation.

6 Troubleshooting
If you are experiencing problems with your keyboard or mouse please
check the following:
1. Take out the receiver’s connector and check both the receiver’s
mouse and keyboard plug for possible broken pins. If the plugs
appear normal then reinsert the plugs into their respective
connectors on your PC.
2. Make sure the mouse plug is inserted in the mouse connector on
your PC and the keyboard plug is inserted into the keyboard
connector on your PC. Compare the icons on both the cable and
backside of your PC if necessary.
3. Check to see if the batteries in the keyboard and mouse are
installed correctly. Make sure the polarity of the batteries
corresponds with the polarity signs in the battery compartment.
4. Replace the batteries to make sure the batteries are not low in
power.
5. Check to see if the channel switch for the receiver, keyboard and
mouse are set to the same channel. Try the alternate channel for
the receiver, keyboard and mouse in case the initially selected
channel appears to work improperly, other devices in the vicinity of
the receiver may cause interference.
6. It is strongly recommended to place the receiver in front of the
monitor in order to prevent signal disturbance from the monitor.
7. If your PC system’s BIOS setup has options for the keyboard or
mouse - make sure they are set to default settings. If you are not
familiar with the BIOS, refer to your PC’s manual for more
information.
8. If you have problems using the sleep button - make sure that the
power management in your PC has been enabled both in the BIOS
and in Windows. For more information on your PC’s BIOS settings -
refer to your PC’s manual. For more information on how to enable
the power management features in Windows - refer to your
Windows manual.
9. If you have problems using the extra browser buttons and/or the
special mouse functions - make sure you have installed the
keyboard and mouse driver correctly as described in this manual’s
10

Chapter 4: Software Installation. Also check your hardware
requirements meet those listed in this manual
10. Use the mouse only on a clean, flat, non-slippery surface in order to
