4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Keyboard Usage

Simply begin typing. The scissor switch keys provide a responsive and quiet experience. The keyboard includes a full numeric keypad for convenient data entry.

Function Keys (F1-F12): These keys often have secondary multimedia or shortcut functions (e.g., volume control, media playback, screen brightness). These functions are typically activated by pressing the 'Fn' key simultaneously with the desired F-key. Refer to your computer's operating system for specific function key mappings.
Indicator Lights: The keyboard features indicator lights for Num Lock, Caps Lock, and a Power Indicator to show battery status or connection.

4.2 Mouse Usage

Move the mouse to control the cursor on your screen. The silent click design ensures a quiet working environment.

Left/Right Click: Standard mouse buttons for selection and context menus.
Scroll Wheel: Use the scroll wheel for vertical scrolling through documents and web pages.
DPI Adjustment: The mouse may have a button (often near the scroll wheel) to cycle through different DPI settings, allowing you to adjust cursor sensitivity to your preference.

5. Maintenance

Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the surface of the keyboard and mouse. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild cleaning solution. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Battery Replacement: When the devices stop responding or the power indicator light on the keyboard blinks, it's time to replace the batteries. Follow the instructions in the 'Setup' section for battery insertion.
Storage: When not in use for extended periods, turn off both the keyboard and mouse using their respective on/off switches to conserve battery life. Store the USB receiver in the mouse's battery compartment to prevent loss.
Environmental Conditions: Avoid exposing the devices to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, high humidity, or liquids.

6. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Solution
Keyboard/Mouse not responding	Ensure both devices are powered on using their switches. Check and replace batteries if necessary. Ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port. Try plugging the receiver into a different USB port. Restart your computer.
Lag or intermittent connection	Move the devices closer to the USB receiver. Avoid using the devices on metal surfaces, which can interfere with the wireless signal. Ensure there are no other strong wireless devices operating nearby that might cause interference.
Mouse cursor erratic or not moving smoothly	Clean the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse. Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface (not highly reflective or transparent). Adjust the mouse DPI setting.
Specific keys not working	Ensure the keyboard is clean and free of debris under the keys. Check if the Caps Lock or Num Lock indicators are on/off as expected. If using function keys, ensure you are pressing the 'Fn' key if required.
