5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Perixx PERIDUO-605 combo, follow these maintenance guidelines:

- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries promptly when performance degrades or the low battery indicator (if present) illuminates. Always use fresh, high-quality AAA batteries.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the devices in a cool, dry place. Remove batteries if storing for several months to prevent leakage.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the devices to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or excessive moisture.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Perixx PERIDUO-605 combo, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Keyboard/Mouse not responding | Low or dead batteries; Receiver not properly connected; Device out of range. | Replace batteries in both devices. Ensure the USB Nano Receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port. Move devices closer to the receiver (within 30 feet operating range). |
| Keys are stiff or unresponsive | Debris under keys; Mechanical issue; Initial break-in period. | Clean around and under the affected keys. If new, some keys may require a short break-in period. If the issue persists, contact support. |
| Number pad not working as numbers (e.g., acts as directional keys) | Mouse settings interfering with keyboard input. | Check your operating system's mouse settings. Specifically, look for options that allow the number pad to control the mouse cursor (e.g., 'Mouse Keys' in Windows Ease of Access settings) and disable it. |
| Mouse cursor movement is erratic or too slow/fast | DPI setting is incorrect; Surface interference. | Press the DPI button on the mouse to cycle through 1000/1500/2000 DPI settings. Use the mouse on a clean, non-reflective surface or a mouse pad. |
| Wireless connection drops frequently | Interference from other wireless devices; Obstructions; Low battery. | Ensure no other wireless devices are causing interference. Remove any large metal objects between the devices and the receiver. Replace batteries. |
