Safe Usage Suggestions
Caution! Although the data are inconclusive, some
experts believe that using a keyboard in certain ways (e.g.
excessive keying forces, poor posture, improper workstation
set up, and/or repetitive, extended typing) may be associated
with some forms of acute sprains/strains or chronic upper
extremity musculoskeletal disorders. If at any time you
experience pain, soreness, numbness, tingling, throbbing,
aching, stiffness, weakness or a burning sensation in your
hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck or back, promptly
consult a qualified health professional. Do not ignore these
warning signs; they may indicate the presence of a
serious medical condition.
To increase your comfort and minimize the potential for
injury when using a keyboard, follow these guidelines:
• Place the keyboard within comfortable reach;
avoid over-extending to reach the keyboard.
• Adjust your position relative to the keyboard so
that your wrists and forearms are straight and
parallel to the floor. This may mean adjusting your
chair, your computer table or desk (if adjustable),
and, if you use one, your keyboard tray.
• When you type, keep your wrists straight and avoid
placing them on the palm rest pad. Use the palm
rest to rest your hands only when you aren't typing.
• Take frequent breaks from using the keyboard, at
least once per hour.
• Vary your tasks throughout the day.

• assign keystrokes and macros to gamepad buttons
• copy or cut and paste actions from one profile to
another profile between profiles
• restore a button's default action, as defined by the
game
• create macros for diagonal movement
• view a list of all keystrokes and macros in a profile
• activate a profile after you create or edit it
• enable and configure Mouse Mode for a profile
You can also open the Intel Profile Exchange Web site,
where you can download new gamepad profiles and upload
your gamepad profiles to share them with other gamepad
users.
Intel Game Profile Activator
Use the Intel Game Profile Activator to activate a profile
and turn off a profile for each connected gamepad. You can
activate the same profile or a different profile for each
connected gamepad. Profiles are files which contain
gamepad settings that define actions in a game.
The Profile Activator also shows basic information about
each connected gamepad, such as whether it is using a
profile. If you want to edit an active profile, view the actions
in an active profile, or create a new profile, you can open the

Safe Usage Suggestions
Caution! Although the data are inconclusive, some
experts believe that using electronic devices in certain ways
(e.g. excessive keying forces, poor posture, improper
workstation set up, and/or repetitive, extended typing) may
be associated with some forms of acute sprains/strains or
chronic upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders.
If at any time you experience pain, soreness, numbness,
tingling, throbbing, aching, stiffness, weakness or a burning
sensation in your hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck or
back, promptly consult a qualified health professional.Do
not ignore these warning signs; they may indicate the
presence of a serious medical condition.
To increase your comfort and minimize the potential for
injury when using the Intel Wireless Series Gamepad,
follow these guidelines:
• Sit comfortably with good posture.
• As you use the gamepad, change the position of
your wrists and hands periodically.
• Avoid holding your wrists in a bent position for
extended periods of time.
• Avoid gripping the gamepad tightly. This can tire
your hands.
• Minimize repetitive actions. For playing games,
you can create profiles with macros that function
as your most frequently used keystrokes and other
game actions.
• Take frequent breaks when using the gamepad, at
least once per hour.
• Use the Intel Wireless Series Control Panel to
quickly jump to property pages for all Intel
peripherals.

Troubleshooting C H A P T E R 6
Reducing Interference with Other Wireless
Devices
All 900MHz radio-based devices are subject to interference
from other 900MHz radio-based devices, such as cordless
telephones, cordless baby monitors, cordless headphones,
and cordless speakers. If you experience static, clicking, or
humming with another radio-based device after you have
connected your Intel Wireless Series Base Station and one
of its devices, the Base Station may be causing the
interference.
It may be helpful to move the Base Station and the base unit
for the other wireless device (such as cordless telephone
cradle) as far apart as possible. You may need to experiment
to determine the locations that are best for your
environment.
Note Keep in mind that it’s not necessary to place the Intel
Wireless Series Base Station in clear view of the devices
that are connected to it.
If you have difficulty connecting an Intel Wireless
Series peripheral:
1Increase the distance between the Intel Wireless
Series Base Station and other base units (such as a
cordless telephone).
2Turn off the other wireless devices, or their base
units, that are in close proximity to the Intel Wireless
Series Base Station.
3Try connecting the Intel Wireless Series Device
again.
4To verify that your device is connected and working
properly, open a document or game and try the
device.
If you experience static, clicking, or other interference
on your cordless telephone handset or speaker
phone
1Move the handset or speaker phone away from the
Intel Wireless Series Base Station.
2Increase the distance between the Intel Wireless
Series Base Station and the cordless telephone base
unit.

C H A P T E R 6 Troubleshooting
For additional suggestions, read the FCC Compliance
Statement on page 51.
Using Multiple Intel Wireless Series Base Stations
If you are using more than one Intel Wireless Series Base
Station, it may take up to 3 minutes to connect a wireless
device. As a general rule when connecting a wireless device,
make sure the other Base Station is not also trying to
connect to a device, which happens whenever you push a
Base Station’s connect button.
As you connect a wireless device, be sure to watch the
“connect” light on the front of the Base Station. As the Base
Station searches for the wireless device signal, it blinks
slowly; after the connection is successful, the “connect”
light will blink rapidly several times and then glow steadily.
If you aren’t able to connect an Intel Wireless Series
device in a multi-base setting:
1Unplug the other Base Station(s) from its electrical
outlet.
2On the Base Station to which you want to connect the
device, press the connect button.
3Press the device’s connect button.
4To verify that your device is connected and working
properly, open a document or game and try the
device.
5After verifying that the device is connected to the
right Base Station, you can plug the other Base
Station(s) in to an electrical outlet.

8FCC Compliance and
Technical Specifications
FCC Compliance Statement
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the two following conditions:
1This device may not cause harmful interference.
2This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operations.
The product has been tested and verified to be within the
energy emission limits for Class B digital devices as defined
in Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential situation. This product generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Installed correctly, it
probably will not interfere with your radio or TV. However,
we do not guarantee the absence of interference.
If you modify the product in any way, without getting
approval from Intel Corporation, your product may violate
FCC regulations. Violation of FCC regulations may cause
the FCC to void your right to use the unit.
If you suspect this product is causing interference, turn your
computer on and off while your radio or TV is showing
interference. If the interference disappears when you turn
the computer off and reappears when you turn the computer
on, something in the computer is causing interference.
To reduce interference, try these suggestions:
• Change the direction of the radio or TV antenna.
• Move the computer or the radio or TV. For
example, if the computer is to the right of the TV,
move it to the left of the TV. Or, move the
52
C H A P T E R 8 FCC Compliance and Technical Specifications
computer farther away from the radio or TV.
• Plug the computer into a different outlet. Don’t
plug your radio or TV into the same circuit as your
computer.
• Ensure that all expansion slots (on the back or side
of the computer) are covered. Also, ensure that all
metal retaining brackets are tightly attached to the
computer.
If these suggestions don’t help, consult your computer
dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for more
suggestions.
