Troubleshooting

What do I do if the keypad does not work?

• Make sure that the polarity of the batteries is correct. The

positive (+) and negative (-) ends of each battery must
match the positive (+) and negative (-) connections in the
battery housing.

• Check that the receiver’s USB connector is firmly

attached to the USB port on your computer.

• Verify that the device drivers are installed.

• Make sure you have established a communication link.

See “Establishing a Communications Link” on page 5.

When I use the calculator/keypad, other wireless
devices work more slowly or fail temporarily – what
should I do?

• The calculator/keypad may cause interference with any

cordless, radio-based device that operates at 27 MHz,
such as a telephone, baby monitor, or toy. To reduce
interference, move the calculator/keypad’s receiver and
the base unit of the affected device as far away from each
other as possible.

• You can also reset the calculator/keypad’s identification

code. To do this, see “Establishing a Communications
Link” on page 5.

14

Targus Wireless Calculator Keypad

What do I do if the response time of the calculator/
keypad is slow or it intermittently stops working?

Try one or more of the following:

• Increase the distance between the receiver and the rest

of your computer equipment.

• Increase the distance between the receiver and the base

units of other wireless devices.

• Turn off any wireless devices and their base units that are

near the keypad’s receiver.

• If you are using the keypad on a metal surface, move it

and the receiver to a non-metal surface. Metals, such as
iron, aluminum or copper, shield the radio frequency
transmission and may slow down the keypad’s response
time or cause the keypad to fail temporarily.

• Replace the batteries.
