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, shoul-

ders, 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 com-

puter. 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 tun-

nel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, and other conditions.

While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is 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. Some

guidelines that may help you work more comfortably with your computer and possibly reduce your risk of experiencing an

MSD can be found in the “Healthy Computing Guide” topic of the User’s Guide provided with each software program on

your CD-ROM. If you do not have the CD-ROM for this product, you can access the “Healthy Computing Guide” at

http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/, or (in the United States only) call 1-800-360-7561 to request a CD-ROM at no

charge. If you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related to

MSDs, see a qualified health professional.

Welcome

Congratulations on your purchase of a Microsoft® wireless suite—which includes a wireless

keyboard, wireless mouse, and a dual receiver. Setting up the devices takes a few simple

steps, and then you can enjoy the freedom of wireless technology and the convenience of a

clutter-free desktop.

Important! Install the Software

Your Microsoft wireless suite includes a CD-ROM with IntelliType Pro keyboard software and

IntelliPoint mouse software. This software enables the unique features of your wireless

devices and provides battery status information.

Note If you do not already have a mouse, you can connect the receiver (step 5) before

software installation so you can use your mouse during Setup.

To install IntelliType Pro keyboard software and IntelliPoint mouse software

1Insert the software installation CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-ROM drive.

If the Setup screen does not appear automatically, do the following:

•Click the Start button, and then click Run.

•Type [drive]:setup. For example, if your CD-ROM drive is drive E, type e:setup

2Click Install Microsoft IntelliType Pro to begin the keyboard software installation.

Follow the Setup Wizard instructions on the screen.

3Restart the computer, if prompted to do so, before proceeding.

If the Setup screen does not appear after IntelliType Pro installation is complete, do the

following:

•Click the Start button, and then click Run.

•Type [drive]:setup. For example, if your CD-ROM drive is drive E, type e:setup

4Click Install Microsoft IntelliPoint to begin the mouse software installation.

Follow the Setup Wizard instructions on the screen, and then restart the computer, if

prompted to do so.

Note After you install each software product and restart the computer (if necessary), a

Quick Start Guide opens automatically, which describes the keyboard or mouse features.

Insert the Batteries

The keyboard and mouse each require two batteries, which are included in the package.

Whenever you insert batteries, always make sure both of them are new. Alkaline batteries

are recommended.

To insert the batteries

1Turn the device upside down, and then remove the battery compartment cover.

2Insert new batteries, making sure to properly orient the positive (+) and negative (–)

ends as specified by the battery compartment labels.

3Close the battery compartment cover.

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 either a key is pressed

on the keyboard or the mouse is moved.

3Position the Receiver, Keyboard, and Mouse

For optimum performance, position the receiver so that it is at least 8 inches (20 cm)

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 com-

puter cases and metal furniture), desktop fans, or fluorescent lights.

The keyboard or mouse may work up to 6 feet (1.8 m) away from the receiver. This dis-

tance varies depending on the positioning of the receiver and wireless devices, nearby

items causing interference, and other factors.

Connect the Receiver to Your Computer

The connection procedure depends on the type of computer you are using. A PS/2 con-

nection is recommended for Windows®-based computers because Universal Serial Bus

(USB) keyboards may not be fully supported on these systems.

PS/2 connection (Windows)

1Shut down and turn off the computer.

2Plug 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.

3Attach the green USB-to-PS/2 adapter to the USB connector, and then plug it into the

computer’s round PS/2 mouse port, which may be similarly colored and labeled with a

mouse icon.

4Turn on the computer.

USB connection (Macintosh, laptop, and advanced users)

You can plug your receiver into the USB port of your Windows- or Macintosh-based PC.

• With your computer turned on, plug the rectangular USB connector into your

computer’s rectangular USB port, and leave the round PS/2 connector unplugged.

Note If you are running Windows 98, you may be prompted to insert the Windows 98

CD-ROM after plugging the rectangular USB connector into your computer’s USB port. The

required USB driver is located in the Win98 folder of the Windows 98 CD-ROM.

Important Before using this product, read about the potential for radio interference in the

topic titled “Radio and TV interference regulations” in the User's Guides installed with the

software.

Test the Keyboard and Mouse

Try using the keyboard and mouse to make sure that they are working. If either device does

not work as expected, make sure the following procedures were completed as specified

earlier in these instructions:

•New batteries are inserted and positioned correctly for each device

•The receiver is properly connected to the computer

•Both devices are properly positioned and there are no nearby items that might cause

interference

If the keyboard or mouse is still not working, try changing the wireless connection channel

for the device. Changing the wireless connection channel is useful if your wireless device

has more than one channel and you are experiencing interference.

To change the wireless connection channel

•Press the button on the bottom of the wireless keyboard or mouse.

If changing the channel does not solve the problem, you may need to reconnect the device

to the receiver. To avoid potential interference, each wireless keyboard and mouse trans-

mits data using a unique code, which the receiver is preset to accept. In rare circum-

stances, a device may need to be reconnected with the receiver to work properly.

To reconnect the keyboard or mouse to the receiver

1Make sure that the device and receiver are positioned as specified earlier in these

instructions.

2Press the button on the top of the wireless receiver.

The receiver lights blink to indicate that it is in “connect” mode.

3Press the button on the bottom of the device.

The wireless device may not work for a few seconds until the reconnection process is

completed.

Note You can only reconnect one device for each press of the receiver button, so repeat as

necessary for the other device.

If reconnecting the device to the receiver does not solve the problem, refer to the User’s

Guides installed with the keyboard or mouse software for additional troubleshooting

information.

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.

Connecting the Palm Rest (certain keyboard models only)

•On a level surface, insert the tabs on the palm rest into the slots on the front of the

keyboard, and then snap them together.

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. Certain keyboard models may use an on-screen display (rather than a

light) to indicate the status of the SCROLL LOCK toggle key.

Using the F LOCK Key (certain keyboard models only)

The F LOCK toggle key gives your keyboard more functionality by providing two command

modes for the top row of keys. When F LOCK is off (F LOCK light off), the enhanced com-

mands printed on the top of the keys are enabled. When F LOCK is on (F LOCK light on), the

standard commands printed on the front of the keys are enabled.

Depending on your keyboard model, you may need to turn F LOCK on (F LOCK light on) to

access certain system key commands labeled on the front of the keys, such as INSERT or

SCROLL LOCK.
