Insert the Batteries
The keyboard and mouse each require batteries, which are included in the package. Whenever
you insert batteries, always make sure all of them are new. Alkaline batteries are recomm-
ended.
Important: Before boarding any aircraft, remove the batteries from the wireless keyboard
and mouse. The wireless keyboard and mouse can transmit radio frequency (RF) energy,
much like a cellular telephone, whenever batteries are installed and the mouse is activated
either by touch or button press.

1. Turn the device upside down and then remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert new batteries, making sure to properly orient the positive (+) and negative (-)
ends as specified by the battery compartment labels.
3. Close the battery compartment cover.
Warnings: When replacing the batteries, you may use alkaline or other heavy-duty NiMH
batteries. Never mix alkaline and NiMH batteries in a device.
Position the Receiver, Keyboard and Mouse
For optimum performance, position the receiver so that it is at least 8 inches (20cm) away
from the keyboard, mouse and any items that might cause interference. Items that might cause
interference include: computer monitors, large metal objects (such as computer cases and
metal furniture), desktop fans or fluorescent lights.
The distance between the keyboard, mouse and receiver should be no more than 5 feet.
About the Receiver Lights
The receiver lights indicate the status of the toggle keys, such as NUM LOCK or CAPS
LOCK. For example, if NUM LOCK is on, the NUM LOCK light is on; if CAPS LOCK is
off, the CAPS LOCK light is off.
Adjusting the Keyboard Legs
The keyboard legs are designed to accommodate various body sizes, chairs and desks. Pull out
or push in the keyboard legs to a position that minimizes bending of your wrists while typing.
Connect the Receiver to Your Computer
The connection procedure depends on the type of computer you are using. A PS/2 connection
is recommended for Windows™ based computers because Universal Serial Bus (USB)
keyboards may not be fully supported on these systems.

PS/2 connection
1. Shut down and turn off the computer.
2. Plug the purple PS/2 connector into the computer’s round PS/2 keyboard port, which
may be similarly colored and labeled with a keyboard icon.
3. Plug the green PS/2 connector into the computer’s round PS/2 mouse port, which may
be similarly colored and labeled with a mouse icon.
4. Turn on the computer.
Set ID of the mouse and keyboard
This process is very important. If not completed properly, your keyboard and mouse will not
work properly, if at all.
a. Press ID button on top of receiver and then release
b. Press ID button on bottom of mouse
c. Press ID button on top of receiver
d. Press ID button on top of keyboard
The process of pressing these buttons must be completed within 5 seconds.
If connected properly, the LED light will blink when the mouse is moved or during typing.
If LED light does not blink, re-try the above process.
About the Wireless Optical Mouse
1. The mouse comes with a scrolling wheel, which can function either as a wheel or as a button.
To scroll up, move the wheel forward; to scroll down, move the wheel backward. To use the
wheel like a standard mouse middle button, simply click (press down) the wheel button.
NOTE: The third button and the scrolling wheel only work with the
operating systems listed above. If you use the RF mouse with a
different operating system, it will lose its enhanced features and
function as a standard, two-button mouse.
2. Avoid using the RF mouse on a metal surface. Metals, such as iron, aluminum or
copper, shield the radio frequency transmission and may slow down the mouse’s response
time or cause the mouse to fail temporarily.
3. The RF mouse will enter a suspend mode at the same time your computer does. To activate
the mouse, touch the sensor strips on the side of the mouse.
4. Never use the RF mouse on a glass or mirrored surface as these surfaces will cause the mouse
to fail temporarily.
5. To maximize battery life, use the RF mouse on a white or light colored surface. Dark surfaces
cause the mouse’s light emitter diode (LED) light to glow brighter, which causes the battery to
discharge more rapidly.

Trouble Shooting:
1. A flashing blue light on the mouse indicates a low battery. Replace immediately. After
installing new batteries, remember to re-set the ID code of your mouse. (Refer to “Set ID of
the mouse and keyboard”)
2. If the keyboard does not respond, replace batteries. After installing new batteries, remember to
re-set the ID code of your mouse. (Refer to “Set ID of the mouse and keyboard”)
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 compartments.
4. 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.
5. If you have the receiver on any type of metal surface, the RF signal sent to the receiver from
the cordless device might bounce or get lost.
6. Use the mouse only on a clean, flat, non-slippery surface in order to ensure smooth and
accurate cursor action. A light surface is best for prolonging the battery life of your mouse.
7. Keep all items away from direct sunlight, moisture, dirt, extreme heat and abrasive chemicals
(cleaning solutions).
8. If the receiver, the keyboard or mouse becomes accidentally immersed or splashed by liquids,
switch off your PC immediately and unplug all items. Turn the keyboard upside down to drain
any liquids. If the liquid was water, simply let the keyboard dry before using it. If you spilled
a sticky substance on your keyboard, drain the liquid and then wipe the keyboard with a damp
cloth. Allow the keyboard to dry completely before reconnecting it to your computer.
9. For optimum performance, keep your keyboard clean and free of debris, such as food crumbs
or dust. Keyboards should be cleaned with “spray and wipe” cleaner with either a cloth or
tissue on a monthly basis.

10. Cordless devices need to establish a connection with the receiver in order to function properly.
On occasion, it may be necessary to establish a new connection. (Refer to Section 5).
11. If you experience any problems with the keyboard missing key strokes or erratic behavior of
the mouse, you may need to re-position your equipment. Try moving the receiver at least 8
inches away from other electrical devices. Interference issues can also be resolved by moving
the mouse closer to the receiver.
Health Warning
Use of a keyboard or pointing device may be linked to serious injuries or disorders.
When using a computer, as with many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort in
your hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other parts of your body. However, if you experience
symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness,
burning sensation or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY
SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are not
working at your computer. Symptoms such as these can be associated with painful and
sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons or other
parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome,
tendonitis, tenosynovitis and other conditions.
While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is a general
agreement that many factors may be linked to their occurrence, including: medical and physical
conditions, stress and how one copes with it, overall health and how a person positions and uses
his or her body during work and other activities (including use of a keyboard or pointing device).
Some studies suggest that the amount of time a person uses a keyboard may also be a factor. For
guidelines that may help you work more comfortably with your computer and possibly reduce
your risk of experiencing an MSD, consult a local physician.
If you have any questions about how your own lifestyle, activities or medical or physical
condition may be related to MSDs, see a qualified health professional.
