4. Maintenance

Battery Management:

To maximize battery life and ensure consistent performance:

• Power Off When Not in Use: Use the ON/OFF switches on both the keyboard and mouse when not in use for extended periods (e.g., overnight or when traveling).
• Auto-Sleep Function: Both devices feature an auto-sleep function that conserves power when idle.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when performance degrades. The keyboard uses two AAA batteries, and the mouse uses one AA battery.

Cleaning:

To keep your combo clean and functioning optimally:

• Keyboard: Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For debris between keys, use compressed air. The keyboard has a spill-resistant design, but avoid submerging it in liquid.
• Mouse: Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. If tracking issues occur, clean the optical sensor on the underside with a cotton swab.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your MK270 combo, try the following troubleshooting steps:

No Connection or Intermittent Connection:

• Check USB Receiver: Ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port on your computer. Try a different USB port.
• Check Batteries: Verify that the batteries in both the keyboard and mouse are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Replace them if necessary.
• Power Switches: Make sure both the keyboard and mouse are switched to the 'ON' position.
• Distance and Interference: Ensure the devices are within the 10-meter operating range of the receiver. Move any large metal objects or other wireless devices that might cause interference.
• Re-pair Devices (if applicable): While the MK270 is typically plug-and-play, if issues persist, you may need to re-pair the devices using Logitech's Unifying software (available for download from the official Logicool/Logitech website).

Keys Not Responding or Mouse Not Tracking:

• Clean Devices: Check for any debris or obstructions under the keys or around the mouse's optical sensor. Clean as described in the Maintenance section.
• Mouse Surface: Ensure the mouse is being used on a suitable surface. Highly reflective or transparent surfaces may cause tracking issues.

Other Issues:

• Operating System Compatibility: Ensure your operating system (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, RT) is supported.
