Setup Guide
1. Battery Installation
The Logitech MK825 combo requires 4 AA batteries (included). Locate the battery compartments on the underside of both the keyboard and the mouse. Insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity.

2. Connectivity Options
You have two primary ways to connect your MK825 combo:

- On the keyboard, press and hold one of the Easy-Switch keys (1, 2, or 3) for 3 seconds until the LED light above the key starts blinking rapidly.
- On your device (computer, tablet, phone), go to Bluetooth settings and select "Logitech MK825" from the list of available devices to pair.
- Repeat a similar process for the mouse using its Easy-Switch button on the top.
