The wireless keyboard and mouse have eight channels available to communicate on. Use the following instructions to determine the channel a device is currently using.

To determine the wireless keyboard or mouse channel

1 Press and quickly release the Channel button on the bottom of the wireless keyboard or mouse.

2 Count the number of times the keyboard’s or mouse’s green LED (and the charging cradle’s red LED) flashes. The number of flashes indicates the channel the keyboard or mouse is using.

Tips:

If the keyboard’s or mouse’s channel is changed when the Media Center PC power is off, the devices will become unsynchronized. To re-synchronize the devices, click and quickly release the Channel button as described in the instructions above to confirm the keyboard’s or mouse’s channel. The keyboard or mouse broadcasts a message across all eight channels that tells the Family Media Center’s receiver which channel the device is currently operating on. The receiver then automatically restores synchronization.

Turn the wireless keyboard and mouse off to prevent battery drain when traveling or when you do not plan to use your Family Media Center for several days.

Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane.
