Basic functions
RF matching
The device has been pre-coded at the factory to match a
keyboard to the receiver. This ensures that two or more of
the same device will not interfere with each other on the
same wireless spectrum. In the event this device is in conict
with another wireless device, you can change channels to
avoid interference by pressing the two keys FN and Esc
about 10 seconds. The RF indicators will ash from slow
to rapid. Once the channel has changed, the RF indicator
will fall back to a slow ash conrming that the change was
successful.
