Maintenance

Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surfaces of the keyboard and mouse. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Battery Replacement: When performance degrades (e.g., delayed response, intermittent connection), replace the batteries in both the keyboard and mouse with new AA batteries. Dispose of old batteries according to local regulations.
Storage: When not in use for extended periods, turn off the devices to conserve battery life. Store the USB receiver in a safe place, possibly inside the mouse's battery compartment if available.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your HP 235 Wireless Combo, try the following solutions:

Problem	Solution
Keyboard/Mouse not responding	Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and charged. Replace if necessary. Verify the power switches on both devices are in the 'On' position. Ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port. Try a different USB port. Move the devices closer to the USB receiver to rule out range issues. Restart your computer.
Intermittent connection	Check for sources of interference (e.g., other wireless devices, large metal objects). Replace batteries. Ensure the USB receiver is not obstructed.
Mouse cursor erratic or not moving smoothly	Clean the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse. Use the mouse on a clean, non-reflective surface. Replace batteries.
