1 Introduction

This instruction manual is for users of the TRUST 270KD SILVERLINE KEYBOARD
& WIRELESS MOUSE. The mouse has three buttons and two scroll wheels. It
connects to your computer via radio frequencies. The receiver for the wireless
mouse is built into the keyboard. The keyboard and mouse use 2 channels and 256
different identification codes, so that a number of sets can be used in the same
room.

- Nowadays, there are an increasing number of wireless products (video, audio,
convenience, computer, etc.) which work in the same frequency range as this
device. It may, therefore, be possible that the functionality of this product is
limited by or is limiting for other wireless products. This can only be avoided by
paying attention to the distance between products and, where possible, by
changing channels.

3 Installation

3.1 Inserting the batteries

1. Remove the cover from the battery compartment on the bottom of the mouse.

2. Insert the two AAA batteries into the battery compartment as indicated inside
the battery compartment (see figure 1).

Note: The batteries provided for the mouse cannot be recharged.

Note: Inserting the batteries incorrectly may cause damage.

Note: Only replace the batteries for the mouse with the same type of

alkaline batteries or with rechargeable NiMH batteries.

3.2 Selecting the channel

Note: The mouse and keyboard must be set to the same channel.

1. Open the mouse battery compartment.

2. Use a pointed object to set the channel selection switch in the mouse to the
desired channel. The channel can be read next to this switch (see figure 1).

3. Close the mouse battery compartment.

4. Set the channel selection switch on the bottom of the keyboard to the same
channel as the mouse.

3.3 Connecting

Note: Make sure that you have your Windows CD-ROM available.

Certain versions of Windows may request you to insert your
Windows CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.

1. Turn the computer off.

2. Connect the green plug to the green PS/2 mouse connection on your
computer.

3. Connect the purple plug to the purple PS/2 keyboard connection on your
computer.

The mouse and keyboard are now ready for (standard) use. See chapter 3.4 if you
wish to use the special function buttons on the TRUST 270KD SILVERLINE
KEYBOARD & WIRELESS MOUSE.

3.4 Uninstalling old drivers and devices

The most common cause of faults during installation is the presence of a driver for a
similar, old product. The best solution is to first remove all drivers related to old
devices before installing the new driver.

1. Enter the Windows ‘Safe Mode’ (press F8 when starting Windows and then
select ‘Safe Mode’ from the menu which is displayed).

2. Click on ‘Start – Settings – Control Panel’ and double-click on the
‘Add/Remove Programs’ icon.

3. Find all the programs for similar, old devices and remove these by clicking on
the ‘Add/Remove’ button. When in the ‘Safe Mode’, it is possible for some
programs to appear twice. In that case, remove all the programs which
appear twice.

4. Restart the computer.

3.5 Installing the software in Windows 98 / Windows ME /

Windows 2000 / Windows XP

Note: The latest driver can be downloaded from www.trust.com/13072.

Check whether a new driver is available and use this for the
installation.

Note: Make sure all other programs, except Windows, are closed

during the installation.

Note: During installation in Windows 2000 and Windows XP, you may

receive a message saying that the driver has not been signed.
This does not cause a problem for the functionality.

Note: In the example, ‘D:\’ is used to indicate the CD-ROM drive. This

may be different for your computer.

1. Insert the CD-ROM into you r CD-ROM drive. The Trust Soft ware Installer will
start automatically (see figure 2).

Note: If the Trust Software Installer does not start automatically, click

on 'Start - 'Run', type [D:\SETUP.EXE] in the command line and
click on 'OK'.

2. Click on the language you wish to use for the installation.

3. Click on ‘270KD KEYBOARD & MOUSE DRIVER‘ to start the installation.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

5. Once the installation has been completed, your computer will be restarted
and the ‘Wireless Mouse’ window will appear (see figure 3).

6. See chapter 4 to continue with the installation and for instructions on how to
select the ID code.

4 Assigning ID codes

4.1 ID codes

During production, a unique ID code is assigned to each mouse. The receiver in the
keyboard only receives the signal from your mouse and prevents radio signals from
other wireless mice from being received by your computer. There are 256 unique
codes. Follow the procedures described in the next chapters to activate this unique
ID code for the mouse. The ID code will be selected by the mouse software . The ID
code is not displayed, but if you move another TRUST 270KD SILVERLINE
KEYBOARD & WIRELESS MOUSE close by, you will see that there is no
interference. This function can also be switched off, so that it is possible to use other
wireless pointing devices on your computer. This function is not a safety device.

4.1.1 Assigning an ID code to the mouse

You can choose from 2 options:

1. Assign an ID code: the unique mouse ID code will be recognized and any
other pointing device which works via radio frequencies will not have access
to your computer. Move the wireless mouse for a couple of seconds so that it
is detected and then click on ‘Connect ID’ (see figure 3).

2. Do not assign an ID code: select this option if there are no pointing devices
within a distance of 3 metres which work via radio frequencies or if you wish
other pointing devices which work via radio frequencies to have access to
your computer. Click on ‘Close’.
