Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Wireless
Desktop 280 by Belkin. We appreciate your business and we are
sure you will enjoy years of reliable use with these high-quality
input devices.
Although the Wireless Desktop 280 will function out-of-the-box
as a Human Interface Device (HID) or standard PS/2 keyboard
and mouse, for advanced programmability and functionality we
recommend that you use the included software. This will give you
added flexibility and allow you to customize your settings and
reassign keys to fit your preference.

For PS/2 Connections
1. Be sure that your computer is powered off.
2. Connect the receiver to
your computer’s PS/2
ports. The receiver has a
two-headed connector for
the keyboard and mouse
connection (purple is for
the keyboard and the USB
connection, and the green
adapter is for the mouse).
There is also a diagram on
the top connector for identification. Your computer will either
have a matching color scheme or an illustration next to the
port, or both (See Fig. 1).
3. Install the batteries into your keyboard and mouse. Please
make sure you follow the diagram on the inside of the battery
compartment to ensure that you install them correctly.
4. Power on your computer.
5. The receiver automatically scans for and synchronizes the
keyboard and mouse when you power on the computer. Your
keyboard and mouse should now be functioning.
6. If synchronizing does not occur automatically, please refer
to the information on “Synchronizing” in the Troubleshooting
section at the end of this User Manual.

For USB Connections
1. Be sure that your computer is powered on. If you are running
Windows 98 SE, Me, or 2000, you will need to have your old
keyboard and mouse connected during the installation.
2. Install the batteries into your keyboard and mouse. Please
make sure you follow the diagram on the inside of the battery
compartment to ensure that you install them correctly.
3. Connect only the receiver to
your computer with the USB
connector. (Do not connect
the purple PS/2 connection as
it is not necessary in a USB
environment) (See Fig. 2).
NOTE: When connecting the USB cable to your computer,
Windows will start a New Hardware Wizard. Windows XP
completes the Wizard automatically. In Windows 98 SE, Me, and
2000, you will need to go through the New Hardware Wizard
setup with your old keyboard and mouse. Windows 98 SE may
require you to insert your Windows 98 SE Installation CD into
your computer’s CD-ROM drive to complete the install.
4. The receiver automatically scans and synchronizes the
keyboard and mouse. Your keyboard and mouse should now
be functioning.
5. If synchronizing does not occur automatically, please refer
to the information on “Synchronizing” in the Troubleshooting
