1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the 2001BRF wireless keyboard and
mouse kit! This keyboard and mouse kit will finally free you of the
constraints of your desktop by providing a wireless connection between
the keyboard or mouse and your PC. Pass around the keyboard or
mouse during meetings without having to bother about a cable
blocking your way or write e-mails and surf the Internet from the comfort
of your living room couch!
The 2001BRF keyboard and mouse kit consists of a keyboard, a mouse
and a receiver. The receiver is connected to your PC through a cable.
The keyboard and mouse can operate freely within a radius of at least
3.28 feet (1meter) from the receiver, which itself has a maximum range
from your PC of around 3.28 feet (1meter). The wireless keyboard
contains seven Internet keys and one ACPI key to make you save more
hand-movement and access to Internet much quickly. Because the
2001BRF kit uses radio frequencies to transmit the wireless signals it has no
constrictions on viewing angles such as with infrared devices like your
TV’s remote control, etc.
Besides providing unprecedented freedom of movement when
operating the keyboard or mouse, the 2001BRF kit also offers even more
extra functionality by introducing 7 dedicated buttons for often used
Internet browser functions as well as a Sleep button. (Please note: The
Internet keys work only under Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later
version!). And last but not least, this package also provides a special
driver that provides unique shortcut functions.
In order to enjoy your 2001BRF kit to the fullest it is recommended that
you first read this manual carefully before installation of the 2001BRF
keyboard and mouse kit.

6 Troubleshooting
When the keyboard or the mouse doesn't work properly, please check
the following:
1. Take out the receiver’s connector and check the receiver’s plug for
possible broken pins. If the plugs appear normal then reinsert the
plugs on your PC.
2. Check that if the batteries in the keyboard and mouse are installed
correctly. Make sure the polarity of the batteries corresponds with
the polarity signs in the battery compartment.
3. Replace the batteries to make sure the batteries are not low in
power.
4. It is strongly recommended to place the receiver in front of the
monitor in order to prevent signal disturbance from the monitor.
5. If your PC system’s BIOS setup has options for the keyboard or mouse,
make sure they are set to default settings. If you are not familiar with
the BIOS, refer to your PC’s manual for more information.
6. If you have problems using the sleep button, make sure that the
power management in your PC has been enabled both in the BIOS
and in Windows. For more information on your PC’s BIOS settings,
refer to your PC’s manual. For more information on how to enable
the power management features in Windows, refer to your Windows
manual.
7. Use the mouse only on a clean, flat, non-slippery surface in order to
ensure smooth and accurate cursor action. If you use a mouse-pad,
choose a light-colored one, not a dark one, to use less battery
power.
8. Keep all items away from direct sunlight, moisture, dirt, extreme heat
and abrasive chemical (cleaning) solutions.
9. Should the receiver, the keyboard or mouse become accidentally
immersed or splashed by liquids, switch off your PC immediately,
unplug all items and refer to your dealer for further assistance. In
these cases please refrain from using any of the items before
consulting with your dealer!
