It features a full-sized black wireless keyboard on the left, a compact black wireless optical mouse on the right, and a small nano USB receiver positioned above the mouse. The keyboard has a standard QWERTY layout with a numeric keypad and function keys. The mouse is ergonomically shaped for comfortable use.

  3. Automatic Synchronization:

    The keyboard and mouse are designed to automatically synchronize with the Nano USB receiver. Once the receiver is plugged in and batteries are installed, the devices should be ready for use. If they do not respond, ensure the mouse's power switch (if present) is in the 'ON' position.

Operating Instructions

Keyboard Usage

  • The keyboard functions like a standard wired keyboard. Simply begin typing.
  • Ensure the keyboard is within the effective wireless range of the USB receiver (typically up to 30 feet or 10 meters).
  • The keyboard features a spill-resistant design, offering protection against minor liquid spills. In case of a spill, immediately disconnect the receiver and allow the keyboard to dry completely before reuse.

Mouse Usage

  • Move the mouse to control the cursor on your screen.
  • Use the left and right click buttons for primary and secondary functions.
  • The scroll wheel allows for easy navigation through documents and web pages.
  • Some optical mice may have an on/off switch on the underside to conserve battery life when not in use. Ensure it is in the 'ON' position for operation.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning:

    To clean the keyboard and mouse, use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasives, or excessive moisture. Do not submerge the devices in liquid.

  • Battery Replacement:

    When the keyboard or mouse performance degrades (e.g., delayed response, erratic cursor movement), it may be time to replace the batteries. Open the battery compartment, remove the old batteries, and insert new AAA batteries, observing correct polarity. Dispose of used batteries responsibly.

  • Storage:

    When not in use for extended periods, it is recommended to remove the batteries from the devices to prevent leakage. Store the keyboard and mouse in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
