Gyration Full-Size Keyboard

Ergonomically-designed, the Full-Size Keyboard has a
sleek, refined look with an exceptional feel. Due to Gyration’s
powerful radio frequency technology, this keyboard is ideal for
your desk, the office conference room, and even your home
office.

Setting Up and Synchronizing the Keyboard and the Gyration RF Receiver

When installing the Full-Size Keyboard for the first time or
when adding additional Gyration devices to the system, it is
necessary to perform a Teach/Learn sequence to synchronize
the devices. To set up and synchronize the Full-Size Keyboard
and the RF Receiver:

1. Connect the receiver cable into an available USB port and
power on your computer. Your operating system should
detect the new hardware device and initiate the installa­tion procedure. Continue to follow the standard USB
device installation screens until installation is complete.

2. Insert four AA batteries into the keyboard.

3. Press and hold the Learn button on the receiver for two

seconds, and then release it. The Status light will blink
slowly, indicating the receiver is in “Learn Mode.”

4. Press and release the Teach button located on the back
of the keyboard (see below). The Status light on the
receiver will blink rapidly for four seconds, then begin to
blink slowly.

Note: At this time, press the Teach button on any additional devices

(such as a second keyboard, an Ultra Mouse, or a GyroRe­mote).

5. To exit Learn Mode, press the Learn button on the
receiver for two seconds. Otherwise, Learn Mode will
automatically time out after five minutes.

If more than one Gyration device is being installed on the
same system, place the receiver into Learn Mode (step 3

2

above) and then press the Teach button on each device before
exiting Learn Mode. However, do not press the Learn button
on the receiver for each device to be added (see “Installing 3
or More Devices” on page 9).

When the receiver is put into Learn Mode, it erases its mem­ory of previously learned devices and looks for new devices.
Therefore when adding a new device to a system, it is neces­sary to put the receiver into Learn Mode and then press the
Teach button on all the devices that will be used on the sys­tem.

After the Teach/Learn sequence is performed, the receiver
and device(s) will remain synchronized after powering down
and/or changing channels. It is only necessary to perform the

Teach/Learn sequence when setting a device up for the first
time or when adding additional devices to the system.

Determining Which Channel the Keyboard is Using

The Full-Size Keyboard has eight individual channels avail­able to it. To determine which channel a device is currently
using:

1. Press and quickly release the Channel button on the back
of the keyboard.

2. Count the number of times the green LED light on the
front (or back) of the keyboard flashes. The number of
flashes indicates the channel the keyboard is using.

Note: If the keyboard’s channel is changed when the computer is

powered down or the receiver is not connected, the devices
will become unsynchronized. When the system is running,
click and release the Channel button as described above to
confirm the channel. The keyboard broadcasts a message
across all eight channels that informs the receiver what chan­nel it is currently operating on. The receiver then automati­cally restores synchronization.
