HEALTH WARNING

Use of a keyboard or mouse may be linked to serious injuries or disorders.

When using a computer, as with many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands,
arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent
or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stif fness,

DO

NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if

symptoms occur when you are not working at your computer. Symptoms like these can be associated with
painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles , tendons, or other
parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis,
tenosynovitis, and other conditions.

While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general agreement that
many factor s may be linked to their occurrence, including: overall health, stress and how one copes with it,
medical and physical conditions, and how a person positions and uses his or her body during work and
other activities (including use of a keyboard or mouse). The amount of time a per son per forms an ac tivity
may also be a factor.

Some guidelines that may help you work more comfortably with your computer and possibly reduce your
risk of experiencing an MSD can be found in the “Healthy Computing Guide” installed with this device’s
software. If this device did not come with software, see the “Healthy Computing Guide” section of the
“Getting Started” manual. You can also access the “Healthy Computing Guide” at
www.microsoft.com/hardware or (in the United States only) by calling 1 [phone] to request a CD
at no charge.

If you have questions about how your own lifest yle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be

related to MSDs, see a qualied health professional.

1 Insert the Batteries

The keyboard and mouse each require batteries (AA for keyboard, AAA for mouse),
which are included in the package. Whenever you insert batteries, always make sure
that each of them is new. Alkaline batteries provide maximum battery life.

To insert the batteries

1 Turn the device upside down, and then remove the battery compartment cover.

2 Insert new batteries. Orient the positive (+) and negative (–) ends properly as

specied by the battery compartment labels.

2 Connect the Receiver to Your Computer

With your computer turned on, plug the rectangular USB
connector into your computer’s rectangular USB port.

3 Position the Receiver, Keyboard, and Mouse

1 Position the receiver at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from your computer monitor,

computer case, and any other items that might cause interference (such as metal

ling cabinets, desktop fans, or uorescent lights).

2 Position the keyboard and mouse

no less than 8 inches (20 cm) from
the receiver but no more than
6 feet (1.8 m) from the receiver.
This distance varies depending on
nearby items causing interference
and other factors.

About the Receiver Light

The receiver light indicates the reconnection mode: when you press the receiver
button, the light blinks. If the mouse or keyboard is not working properly, try
reconnecting the device as described in the following section.

4 Test the Keyboard and Mouse

Try using the keyboard and mouse to make sure that they are working.

Tip To test the keyboard, press the Windows logo key ( ). This opens the Windows

Start menu.

If either device does not work as expected, make sure that the following procedures

were completed as specied earlier in these instructions:

● New batteries are inserted and positioned correctly in both the keyboard and

the mouse.

● The keyboard, mouse, and receiver are correctly positioned and there are no

nearby items that might cause interference.

● The receiver is correctly connected to the computer.

To reconnect the mouse to the receiver

● Press the

Connect button on the receiver (located on top of the receiver next to

the receiver light), and then immediately press the

Connect button on the bottom

of the mouse. Using the tip of a pen may make it easier to press the button.

To reconnect the keyboard to the receiver

● Press the

Connect button on the receiver, and then immediately press the

Connect button on the bottom of the keyboard. To locate the Connect button,

turn the keyboard over, and then pull out the keyboard legs. The

Connect button
is located under one of the keyboard legs. Using the tip of a pen may make it
easier to press the button.

Note You can reconnect only one device each time you press the receiver button,

so repeat as necessary for the other device.

Using Your Keyboard

The features for your keyboard depend on the model you are using.

Adjusting the keyboard legs

The keyboard legs are designed to accommodate various body sizes, chairs, and
desks. For more information, see the “Healthy Computing Guide” section later in this
manual.

● Pull out or push in the keyboard legs to a position that minimizes bending of your
wrists while typing.

Using Your Mouse

The features for your mouse depend on the model you are using.

To use the wheel

Using the wheel, you can move around in a scrollable document, similar to clicking
the scroll arrows or using the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN keys.

● Roll the wheel toward you to move down in a scrollable document and roll the
wheel away from you to move up in a scrollable document.

To wake the mouse from sleep mode

After a period of inactivity, the mouse goes into a sleep mode to prolong battery life.
To reactivate the mouse, you must move the scroll wheel or click a button. Merely
moving the mouse will not wake it up.

Note Scrolling works only in programs that support this feature.

To clean the mouse

To clean a mouse with an optical sensor, you simply need to clean the area around
the sensor.

Warning

Always remove the batteries before you clean your wireless mouse.

● Dampen a cotton swab with mild soap and water, and then gently wipe the optical
sensor clean, being careful not to scratch the surface of the sensor.

● Reconnect the mouse to the receiver, as described in step 4.

Important

● Before boarding any aircraft, remove the batteries from the wireless keyboard

and mouse. These devices can transmit radio frequency (RF) energy, much like a
cellular telephone, whenever batteries are installed and the keyboard or mouse is
activated.

● For detailed information about U.S. and Canadian radio interference regulations,

ask your computer dealer or an experienced radio-TV technician. For more
information about interference issues, go to the FCC Web site at:
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/interference.html.

Healthy Computing Guide

Introduction

This guide is designed to help you be more comfortable and productive
while using your computer. It may also help you reduce your risk of
experiencing painful and disabling injuries or disorders described in the
Health Warning earlier in this manual.

It only takes a moment to read, but the benets can be lasting.

For information about arranging your workstation and developing habits that may
help to reduce your risk of experiencing an MSD, read this “Healthy Computing
Guide.” Because there are a variety of factors that may contribute to MSDs, this guide
cannot provide everything you need to know to prevent an MSD or reduce your risk
of experiencing one. For some people, following the suggestions may reduce their
risk of experiencing an MSD. For others, it may not. However, many people experience
greater comfort and productivity when following these suggestions. Keep in mind

that this guide is not a substitute for the advice of a qualied health professional or

an employer health policy or program. If you have questions about how your own
lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related to MSDs, see a

qualied health professional.

Position Yourself

Whether you are working or playing, it is important to avoid awkward postures and
position your body comfortably. Not only can this improve your overall productivity,
it may help you avoid musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Keep in mind that changing
your posture during extended tasks may also help you avoid discomfort and fatigue.

When working or playing at the computer, adapt your surroundings and arrange your
computing equipment to promote a comfortable and relaxed body posture. Setting
up your workstation to avoid discomfort depends on your unique body size and work
environment. However, the following suggestions may help to provide you with a
more comfortable environment.

To support your back, try the following:

● Use a chair that supports your lower back
(see detail

1

).

● Adjust your work surface and chair height to

assume a comfortable and natural body posture
(see detail

2

).

To promote comfortable leg postures,
try the following:

● Clear away items from beneath your desk to allow

comfortable leg positioning and movement.

● Use a footrest if your feet do not rest comfortably on the oor.
