7. How to use the keyboards KSK-3201 RF and KSK-3201 BT

After successful launch enjoy now during the operation a free and independent choice of location up to • approx. 7 / 10 m distance to the PC. More or less range can be caused, like mentioned above, by metallic dividing walls, other computer cases, monitors, ZIP drives, loudspeakers, switching power supplies etc., but also by different loading capacity of the batteries. 7.1. Trackball As a mouse alternative the keyboard is equipped with a Laser Trackball inclusive two mouse function keys allowing comfortable and ergonomic handling of the PC, for instance from a sofa. Thereby the handling of the Trackball is as simple as brilliant. Move with the right thumb softly the ball of the Trackball to move • the cursor on the screen. With the mouse function keys click and double click functions, • absolutely identically as with a mouse, can be explained. In order to „drag“, to draw or to mark, you must keep the left key• with the left thumb pressed to carry out the function then with the right thumb on the Track Ball. In order to increase or decrease the speed of the Mouse-pointer • movements, change the settings of the mouse options in your system control under Windows*. Using notebooks with already integrated touchpad you have to• de-activate these intern control devices in case of error messa- ges or malfunctions*. With pressed down • Fn key it is possible to scroll with the track- ball up and down. 18Errors & omissions excepted...touch the difference Version 1.1 (2010/11/17) ● © 2010 by MaxPoint Handelsges. mbH Should the precision of the cursor decrease after several months of usage, please check the installed batte- ries for their state. In the case of doubt exchange them for new. Advise: A too low battery capacity might be responsible for the fact that the operation distance to the radio remote control of the PC is impaired respectively signs are let out sporadically when writing.
