regulations is not pertinent. These operating
instructions are only valid for the product

The CyBo@rd Plus Wireless Keyboard
Plus Wireless Mouse consists of three
components: the keyboard, the mouse and the
wireless receiver for both devices.

In contrast to a standard cabled keyboard, the
wireless keyboard does not contain LED
displays; these are integrated into the
receiver.

The keyboard fulfils all the functions of a
standard keyboard and is additionally
equipped with 19 special keys. These keys
assist you in the basic operation of Internet
and multimedia programs as well as with
Power Management. Accordingly, the special
keys can be classified into the following
function groups:

Internet keys

Multimedia keys

Additional information can be obtained from
your respective Cherry distributor or directly
from Cherry GmbH.

E-mail / Program keys

Standby key

All special keys have specific preset basic
functions. You can, however, configure each

3

of the special keys individually with the help of
the software KeyMan (Keyboard Manager)
and can assign a different function offered by
the software to the keys. The basic function of
the key is thereby deactivated, but it can be
reactivated at any time.

The wireless mouse is equipped with a scroll
wheel and fulfils all standard functions of a 3­button mouse.

The wireless receiver is the necessary
”adapter” which links the keyboard and mouse
with the computer. The receiver fulfils another
special function.

3 Wireless receiver

The wireless receiver contains a total of four
LED displays.

The group of three LEDs on the front of the
receiver assumes the functions of the LED
displays which are normally found on the
keyboard. The receiver has been designed so
that it can be placed on a desk or computer
monitor etc., to enable you to check quickly
which mode is activated, i.e. numerical block,
fixing key or scroll-lock.

The fourth LED display on the back of the
receiver is a status light, which indicates
whether the receiver is ready to be used, as
well as the battery status of the keyboard and
mouse.
