4 Connecting the devices

4.1 Connecting the receiver to the PC via
the USB connection

Windows NT?

Windows NT does not support USB. If the PC has

a USB port, USB Keyboard Support or USB
Legacy Mode must be set to enabled in the BIOS
of the PC. The standard keys will now function, but
the additional keys are not supported.

4.3 Inserting batteries into the keyboard
and mouse

1 Open the battery compartment on the underside

of the wireless keyboard/mouse.

2 Insert both accompanying rechargeable alkaline

AA (LR6) batteries.

Charge level of alkaline batteries

The alkaline batteries are ready for operation right
away and do not need to be charged before the
initial use. When the LED on the receiver
flashes slowly, the batteries must be charged. LED
green = keyboard batteries, LED red = mouse
batteries.

3 Close the battery compartment.

5 Recharging the batteries

➤ Insert the USB plug of the receiver into any USB

port on your PC. You can also use the USB port
of a device which is connected to the PC.

Usable battery type

The charging electronics only function with
rechargeable alkaline batteries (example: AccuCell
AC 1800, see technical data). No other batteries
can be charged in the keyboard and mouse. The

advantages:

• high capacity (1800 mAh)

• minimal self-discharge

• can be recharged at any time without the
memory effect

• rechargeable several hundred times

• high output voltage (1.5 V)

• environmentally friendly due to less waste
