  1. Locate the small USB wireless receiver, typically stored within the mouse's battery compartment for safekeeping during transport.

  3. Your computer should automatically detect and install the necessary drivers. This may take a few moments.

3. Powering On

  • Calculate Key: A dedicated key for launching your computer's calculator application.
  • LED Indicators: Lights on the keyboard indicate the status of Caps Lock, Num Lock, and battery level. A blinking light may indicate low battery.

Maintenance and Care

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surfaces of the keyboard and mouse. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not immerse the devices in water.
  • Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator lights up or when performance degrades. Always use fresh, high-quality AA batteries.
  • Storage: When not in use for extended periods, turn off the mouse to conserve battery life. Store the USB receiver in the mouse's battery compartment to prevent loss.
  • Environment: Avoid exposing the devices to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or high humidity.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your Insignia Wireless Keyboard & Mouse Combo, try the following solutions:

Keyboard or Mouse Not Responding

  • Check Batteries: Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Replace them if necessary.
  • Power Switch: Make sure the mouse's power switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • USB Receiver: Ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port on your computer. Try a different USB port.
  • Distance/Obstructions: Move the keyboard and mouse closer to the USB receiver. Ensure there are no large metal objects between the devices and the receiver that could interfere with the wireless signal.
  • Re-pairing: While typically plug-and-play, some wireless devices may benefit from re-pairing. Consult your computer's operating system settings for Bluetooth or wireless device management, though for 2.4GHz USB receivers, this is rarely needed beyond re-plugging the receiver.

Keys Not Registering / Mouse Jumpy

  • Clean Devices: Dust or debris under keys or obstructing the mouse's optical sensor can cause issues. Clean the devices as described in the Maintenance section.
  • Surface for Mouse: Ensure the mouse is used on a clean, non-reflective, and uniform surface.
  • Interference: Other wireless devices operating on the 2.4GHz frequency (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, cordless phones) can cause interference. Try moving the receiver or the devices away from such sources.
