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. PC Line KB200 Keyboard and Mouse.qxd 03/04/2003 10:57 Page 11
