Please keep this user’s manual in a safe place. Every time the
batteries in the keyboard and mouse are changed, you will need
to re-link them. To do so, you will need to follow steps 5 – 11.

your computer by going to “Add/Remove Programs” in the
“Control Panel”.
2. Shut down and turn off your computer before connecting or disconnecting any PS/2 device (failure to
do so could damage your computer).
3. Disconnect existing keyboard and mouse from your computer.
4. Plug the two PS/2 plugs on your new receiver into the correct ports on your PC. (Make sure the green
mouse plug is plugged into the mouse port, and the purple keyboard plug is plugged into the keyboard
port)
5. Install the included batteries into the battery compartments located on the bottom of your keyboard and
mouse. Make sure the polarity corresponds to the symbols in the battery compartment.

6. Special Function Hot Keys
Hot keys give you quick and direct access to programs, files or commands. Using hot keys can increase
your productivity, as you do not have to take your hand off the keyboard so frequently (e.g. to use the
mouse). The available hot keys depend on the operating system and application being used. The
following list shows the icon on each hot key and the standard assignment of the hot keys. Most hot keys
can be reconfigured with the Wireless Office Keyboard and Optical Mouse Software (see section 5).
