Setup Guide

1. Battery Installation

The Microsoft Bluetooth Desktop requires batteries for operation. The combo includes 4 AA batteries. Locate the battery compartments on the underside of both the keyboard and the mouse. Insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity as indicated within the compartment.

2. Bluetooth Pairing

Your Microsoft Bluetooth Desktop is designed for easy pairing with compatible devices using Bluetooth 5.0 wireless technology. Pairing functionality requires Windows 10 with the latest updates or Windows 11 Home/Pro.

1. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your computer or device.
2. On the underside of the mouse, press and hold the pairing button until the LED indicator begins to flash, indicating it is in pairing mode.
3. For the keyboard, press and hold the pairing button (usually located on the underside or side) until its LED indicator flashes.
4. On your computer, navigate to Bluetooth settings and select "Add a device."
5. Choose "Bluetooth" and select "Microsoft Bluetooth Keyboard" and "Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse" from the list of available devices. Follow any on-screen prompts to complete the pairing process.

For optimal functionality, installation of the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center software is recommended. This software requires Microsoft Windows 10/8.1 and 150 MB available hard disk space. Internet access is required for download, and associated charges may apply. This software is not available on devices running Windows 10 S or Mac OSX.

Function Key Behavior

By default, the function keys (F1-F12) on the keyboard may operate as media control or special function keys (e.g., volume control, play/pause, screen capture) as indicated by the icons on the keys. To switch between these special functions and the standard F1-F12 functionality, press the Fn key and the Caps Lock key simultaneously. This toggles the primary function of the F-keys.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

When the batteries are low, the LED indicator on the keyboard or mouse may flash or turn off. Replace the batteries promptly to ensure uninterrupted use. Always use new, high-quality batteries of the specified type.

Cleaning

To clean your Microsoft Bluetooth Desktop, use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or aerosol sprays directly on the devices. Ensure no liquid enters the internal components.

Troubleshooting

• Intermittent Connection:
  • Ensure there are no obstructions or sources of interference (e.g., other wireless devices, large metal objects) between the devices and your computer.
