Determining Which Channel the Keyboard is Using

The Compact Keyboard has eight individual channels available to it. To determine which channel a device is currently using:

1.Press and quickly release the Channel button at the top of the keyboard.

2.Count the number of times the green Status light at the top of the keyboard flashes. The number of flashes indi- cates the channel the keyboard is using.

Note: If the keyboard’s channel is changed when the computer is powered down or the receiver is not connected, the devices will become unsynchronized. When the system is running, click and release the Channel button as described above to confirm the channel. The keyboard broadcasts a message across all eight channels that informs the receiver what chan- nel it is currently operating on. The receiver then automati- cally restores synchronization.

Changing the Channel the Keyboard is Using

When two devices are being used in the same proximity, each device should be set to operate on a unique channel. For the best reception, space the channels apart by one or more chan- nels. For example, setting the channels to “2” and “4” is rec- ommended over setting the channels to “2” and “3”.

If you are installing three or more devices on a single receiver, see “Installing 3 or More Devices” on page 9. Remember if a Teach/Learn sequence has already been performed, it is not necessary to re-synchronize the devices after a channel change.

To change the channel:

1.Press and quickly release the Channel button located at the top of the keyboard.

2.When you release the Channel button, the keyboard will change to the next sequential channel and the green Sta- tus light at the top of the keyboard will flash. The number
