Troubleshooting
If the keyboard or the mouse do not work correctly, then please check the
following:
1. Take out the receivers connector and check both the receivers mouse and
keyboard plug for possible broken pins. If the plugs appear normal then
re-insert 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 rear of your PC if
necessary.
3. Check if the batteries in 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 that are used are not low
on power.
5. Check if the channel switch for receiver, keyboard and mouse is set to the
same channel. Try the alternate channel for both the receiver, keyboard
and mouse in case the initially selected channel appears to work
improperly, possibly because of interference from other devices in the
vicinity of the receiver.
6. It is strongly recommended to locate 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 then
make sure they are set to default settings. If you are not familiar with the
BIOS, then please refer to your PC's manual for more information.

power management features of your Windows version please refer to your
Windows manual.
9. If you have problems using the extra browser buttons and/or the special
mouse functions then make sure you have installed the keyboard and
mouse driver correctly as described in this manuals ‘Installing the
Software’ section. Also check if the hardware requirements that are
described in the ‘System Requirement’ section are met by your system.
10. Use the mouse only on a clean, flat, non-slippery surface in order to ensure
smooth and sure cursor action.
11. Keep all kit items away from direct sunlight, moisture, dirt, extreme heat
and abrasive chemical (cleaning) solutions.
