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 cord-
less mouse and keyboard?
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.
