A:First, establish radio communication by pressing the connect button on the front of the computer, and then pressing the connect button on your mouse.
Next, check the quality of the batteries. With healthy batteries you should be able to use your cordless mouse and keyboard at least 1 meter/4 feet from the receiver. If the problem persists after replacing the batteries, you can assume that there is an environmental problem. You can confirm this by checking the performance of your mouse and keyboard with another computer in a different location.
To avoid interference with the radio signal, try moving your system at least 8 inches away from other electrical devices, or moving the mouse and keyboard closer to the computer. If you are using a metal desk or a desk with a metal frame, try raising the computer, mouse and keyboard an inch or so above the surface using a thick mouse pad or a book.
Experiment with different locations and positions.
Q:Will my cordless mouse or keyboard interfere with my cordless phone?
A:It is most unlikely. Your cordless mouse and keyboard operate at such low frequencies that they generally do not interfere with most other cordless devices.
Q:What can cause interference with my cordless mouse and key- board?
A:Any electrical device, including the monitor, drives and speakers can cause interference with your cordless mouse and keyboard. A metal desk or a desk with a metal frame can also cause interference problems.
Q: How many cordless devices can I use in one area?
A:Cordless devices have a range of 2 meters/6 feet, although this might be greater under certain conditions. To avoid possible interference, try to keep systems at least 3 meters/10 feet apart.
There is no specific number of cordless devices that you can be used in an area, as there are many environmental variables that affect performance.
Q:When I move my cordless mouse, it moves the cursor on the sys- tem next to mine. How can I stop this?
A:This is called “cross talk” and is characterized by one cordless device controlling the cursor input of another device connected to a different computer.
