Position the Receiver, Keyboard, and Mouse

For optimum performance, position the receiver so that it is at least 8 inches (20 cm)

away from the keyboard, mouse, and any items that might cause interference. Items that

might cause interference include: computer monitors, large metal objects (such as com-

puter cases and metal furniture), desktop fans, or fluorescent lights.

The keyboard or mouse may work up to 6 feet (1.8 m) away from the receiver. This dis-

tance varies depending on the positioning of the receiver and wireless devices, nearby

items causing interference, and other factors.

Connect the Receiver to Your Computer

The connection procedure depends on the type of computer you are using. A PS/2 con-

nection is recommended for Windows

-based computers because Universal Serial Bus

(USB) keyboards may not be fully supported on these systems.

PS/2 connection (Windows)

1 Shut down and turn off the computer.

2 Plug the purple PS/2 connector into the computer’s round PS/2 keyboard port, which

may be similarly colored and labeled with a keyboard icon.

3 Attach the green USB-to-PS/2 adapter to the USB connector, and then plug it into the

computer’s round PS/2 mouse port, which may be similarly colored and labeled with a

mouse icon.

4 Turn on the computer.

USB connection (Macintosh, laptop, and advanced users)

You can plug your receiver into the USB port of your Windows- or Macintosh-based PC.

• With your computer turned on, plug the rectangular USB connector into your

computer’s rectangular USB port, and leave the round PS/2 connector unplugged.
