For your safety

Risk of choking from swallowing small parts

• Keep the device out of the reach of children under 3 years.

Danger of explosions due to wrong or incorrectly inserted batteries

• Only use batteries of the type named in the technical data.
• Insert the batteries in accordance with the markings (+/-) in the battery compartment.

RSI stands for "Repetitive Strain Injury"

RSI arises due to small movements continuously repeated over a long period of time.

• Set up your workspace ergonomically.
• Take several short breaks, with stretching exercises if necessary.
• Change your posture often.

Connecting devices to the PC/laptop

1. Slide the battery cover of the mouse backwards and remove the red receiver.
2. Connect the receiver to a USB 2.0 port on your PC/ laptop if possible (this usually has a white or black guide).
3. Insert batteries into the keyboard and mouse.
4. Set the switch on the back of the keyboard and the bottom of the mouse to "I".

If the wireless connection is successful, the LEDs on the keyboard and the LED in the mouse wheel will light up for about 10 seconds.

Storing the receiver in the mouse

The receiver is so small that it can stay in the USB socket of a laptop while being transported. To avoid any damage, you can also pull out the receiver and deposit it in the mouse to protect it from dirt and loss.

Setting the DPI rate of the mouse

The speed of the mouse pointer increases with the level of the DPI rate.

• To change the DPI rate, press the DPI button on the top of the mouse.
  The LED flashes according to the setting:
  1x = 1000 dpi, 2x = 2000 dpi

The setting is saved in the mouse and is retained even when the mouse is switched off.

Surface under the mouse

The mouse is most effective on a light-colored, textured surface, which saves energy and ensures optimal motion detection.

A reflective surface is not suitable for using the mouse on.

Battery status

When the voltage of the batteries of the keyboard or mouse decreases, the LED of the scroll button or the LED in the mouse wheel flashes, depending on the device.

If you are working with one of the devices or wake it up from standby, its LED flashes 10 times, then the signal stops.

• Replace the batteries as soon as possible.

Switching the devices on and off

When not in use, the devices switch to sleep mode, which requires much less power. They switch on again automatically as soon as you press a button.

Because they still consume some power in energy-saving mode, you should switch them off manually for extended periods of non-use or for transporting.

• Slide the switch on the back of the keyboard or the bottom of the mouse to the appropriate position:
  Off = 0, on = I

Configure devices individually

With the CHERRY KEYS software you can freely assign the mouse buttons and many keys on the keyboard. This allows you to access apps, files, individual text modules or macros at the touch of a button.

You can obtain CHERRY KEYS as a free download at www.cherry.de.
