Perform these same steps on any other cordless devices 
in the area that are experiencing cross talk.

Q: When I type on my cordless keyboard, the text is 

displayed on another system that is using a cord-
less keyboard. How can I stop this?

A: This is another example of cross talk, and so the above 

solutions apply. However, before attempting the above 
steps, remove the keyboard batteries for 15 minutes. 
Then, re-insert the batteries and reboot the computer. It 
is important that during this time, you do not press the 
connect button on the receiver or keyboard of the other 
cordless desktop system.

Q: When I move my cordless mouse my neighbor can-

not move the cursor on his system. How can I stop 
this?

A: This is called "jamming," and occurs when one cordless 

device stops another cordless device from functioning 
until the first device stops moving.

To avoid possible interference, try to keep systems at 
least 3 meters/10 feet apart. Experiment with various 
computer and mouse positions and change the distance 
between the mouse and the computer.

Press and hold the connect button on the front of the 
computer for ten seconds to reset the connection 
information. You should then press the connect button 
on your mouse to re-establish radio communication.

Q: I loaded a CD/DVD and then pressed the Play/Pause 

key on my keyboard, but nothing happened. What 
is the problem?

A: To use the multimedia keys on your keyboard, you must 

first open a movie player or music player application.
