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 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.
Q: When I move my cordless mouse, it moves the cur-
sor on the system 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.
To avoid possible interference, try to keep systems at
least 3 meters/10 feet apart. Also, try moving the mouse
closer or further away from the computer to improve
the radio communication.
Finally, 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.
