1. Introduction

USERS GUIDE

The address on which your keyboard and receiver
communicate is pre-set at the factory. The factory
setting is address 1. In most situations this will never
need adjustment. However, if you are operating
several RF devices in close proximity, or there are
interfering sources, you may need to change the
address from the factory setting. We recommend that
you first try the system out to be sure that you need to
change addresses. There are 8 possible addresses to
choose from. The 8 addresses are selected thru 4
switches. Both the keyboard and receiver must be set
to the same address.

1. Open the battery door on the backside of the key-

board and remove the batteries. (See Installing
the Keyboard Batteries section on the previous

page). Notice the
cutout hole in the center
of the battery compart­ment, visible once the
batteries are removed.

2. Use a small pointed tool

(such as a pencil) to set
the switches that are
located inside the cutout
hole. Address selection is
made per the chart below
(which is labeled inside the battery door cover).

USERS GUIDE

To indicate the status of the Num Lock, Caps Lock
and Scroll Lock keys, indicator LEDs are built into
the receiver.

Using conventional touchpads in battery powered
wireless keyboards, it has been an unrealized
challenge to get adequate range without excessive
battery consumption. By using Interlink Electronics
patented VersaPoint mouse technology combined
with advanced battery conservation methods and
sleep modes, the VersaPoint RF Wireless Keyboard
easily achieves excellent range and exceptional
battery life.

Indoors operating ranges will be up 100, and, under
ideal conditions, more than that. Naturally, indi­vidual results will vary depending on how you use
your keyboard.

Both the keyboard circuitry and the VersaPoint
mouse make use of the latest advances in low-power
integrated circuit technology. Both also employ what
is known as sleep mode. When nothing is being
typed on the keyboard, the radio circuitry and the
keyboard processor go to sleep, consuming a mere
fraction of their normal power requirements, while
waiting for the next key press.

Under normal usage, battery life of up to 6 months
will be typical. Again, your results will depend on
how you use your keyboard.

4. Using VersaPoint

®

Pressure Pointing

Technology

Total cursor control is available through the touch of
your thumb using the VersaPoint Pressure Pointing
Technology. Its intuitive and feels natural. Where
you place your thumb or finger on the soft button and
apply pressure dictates the direction of cursor move­ment. Pressing harder causes the cursor to move
more quickly. It is easy for many users to place their
thumb at the center of the button and rock it in the
direction desired for cursor movement.

Like a normal mouse, the VersaPoint RF Wireless
Keyboard has left and right click buttons. These are
located next to each other on the upper left side of
the keyboard unit. In addition, two extra left click
buttons can be found on the forward edge of the unit
to enable simple index finger actuation.
