4. Setup

4.1. Battery Installation

1. Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the keyboard.
2. Open the battery compartment cover.
3. Insert the required batteries (typically AA or AAA, not included) according to the polarity indicators (+/-).
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

4.2. Connecting the USB Receiver

1. Locate the USB 2.4GHz receiver, usually stored within the battery compartment or a dedicated slot on the keyboard.

3. The operating system should automatically detect and install the necessary drivers. This may take a few moments.

4.3. Powering On

Ensure the keyboard has fresh batteries and the USB receiver is connected. Most wireless keyboards do not have a separate power switch; they activate automatically upon key press or when the receiver is detected. Some models may have a small ON/OFF switch, typically located on the underside or side of the keyboard. If present, switch it to the 'ON' position.

The function keys (F1-F12) may have secondary functions (e.g., multimedia controls, volume, brightness) accessible by pressing them in combination with the Fn key, usually located near the bottom left of the keyboard. Refer to your operating system's settings for specific key assignments.
