5. Installation KSK-3201 RF

5.1 System requirements

This keyboard requires a PC with USB connection and one of the following operating systems: Windows XP / Vista / Windows7

For the installation of the keyboard under the mentioned above operating systems you need NO special driver!

5.2 Installation of the USB receiver for KSK-3201 RF

In order to install your keyboard, please perform the following steps:

Take the USB receiver (USB dongle receiver) out of the box. [If you are just not using the keyboard you can store the receiver next to the battery case on the back side of the keyboard.]

Connect the USB receiver to a free USB port on your computer.

Advise: Please ensure, that the USB receiver has a minimal distance of 20~cm to metallic dividing walls, other computer cases, monitors, ZIP drives, loudspeakers and switching power supplies.

All mentioned above state-of-the-art operating systems with Plug & Play support will recognize your key- board automatically and load the required drivers. During the phase of installation your operating system informs you via changing Pop-up information windows on the task-bar about the current status of installation. Please be patient, until the system informs you finally about the successful installation. The USB receiver is now ready for operation.

Older operating systems not always support automatic recognition of USB devices. If you have attached your USB receiver and exactly this error occurs on your system, you have the following alternatives to solve the problem:

Perform an update of your operating system and return to Step 5.2

In some cases the installation CD of your operating system is necessary according to the instructions on your screen. In this circumstance please follow these instructions*.

• Check whether your BIOS system supports USB keyboards*. Some main board manufacturers offer BIOS up-dates for download over the Internet.

Ensure in your system settings, that the used USB connection was not deactivated in your operating system*.

Should your system updates keep out of success, it is recommended to test the keyboard with another PC with the same operating system to rule out a hardware damage of the USB receiver.

• Refer to the documentation of your PC for details.

5.3 Keyboard installation KSK-3201 RF

Recommended requirement is the successful installation of the USB receiver under point 5.2.

If you haven't done yet, remove the covering of the battery case on the bottom of your keyboard. Install the included batteries of type AAA 1.5 V considering the right polarity in the battery case (see picture).

2x

Switch ON the On/Off sliding switch on keyboard's back side·!

The USB receiver and the keyboard are factory-made already synchronised on the same channel. Normally you have not to make a new-synchronisation (as described under point 5.4).

Now you can check this by pressing any key of your keyboard. If you press the Windows key, for instance, the Windows Pop-up menu down left on your screen has to open. If so, your wireless keyboard is working correctly now. If not, please synchronise the USB receiver and the keyboard again like described under point 5.4.

Advise: Should the functionality be influenced by other users applying their wireless keyboard close-by, make a newsynchronisation as described under point 5.4.

5.4 New-synchronisation of the radio channel KSK-3201 RF

When you install your keyboard for the first time and no connection can be established, please synchronise the radio channel between keyboard and USB receiver again by pressing and holding the keys (Fn + F1) simultaneously. After 2 seconds pairing starts, the pairing LED is blinking. Pairing can take several seconds and is fi nished, when the LED above the trackball goes off. Now the keyboard is ready for usage. Check now the functionality of the keyboard as described under point 5.3.

Pairing LED

In implausible case the keyboard does not work even after new-synchronisation, you have the following options to solve this problem:

Repeat the procedure of synchronisation as described under 5.4.

Sometimes it is necessary to repeat this routine several times, until the right radio channel is found.

In case your USB receiver is attached to an USB hub, you should install it directly on the USB connector of your notebook or desktop.

During the procedure of synchronisation the keyboard should be located close to the USB receiver to make sure, that the immediate environment has no influence on the radio transmission (for instance reduction/interferences due to metal cases, other sources of interferences etc.).

Ensure that you use only batteries with full loading capacity. In case of doubt change the old batteries before next synchronisation against new ones as a precaution. Low battery capacity is signalised by permanent glowing of the blue LED above the trackball.

Would you like to use instead of the included Bluetooth USB super-mini adapter another Bluetooth adapter or an integrated Bluetooth module, so please note the following instructions:

• If your PC is running Windows XP (SP2), Vista or Windows7 and the IC of your Bluetooth adapter is from manufacturer CSR, please use the included and preloaded Microsoft Bluetooth driver software. You do not need to install other Bluetooth driver software. If you do not like to use the Microsoft Bluetooth driver software for any reason, you can install optionally Bluetooth driver software Toshiba or BlueSoleil (from software manufacturer IVT). *

If your PC is running Windows XP (SP2), Vista or Windows7 and the IC of your Bluetooth adapter is from manufacturer CSR, please first install the Bluetooth driver software Toshiba or BlueSoleil (IVT).

If your PC is running Windows XP (SP2), Vista or Windows7 and the IC of your Bluetooth adapter is from manufacturer Broadcom, please first install the Bluetooth driver software WIDCOMM.*

• For details, see the documentation of your PC, your built-in Bluetooth module or your Bluetooth adapter.

Advice:

The most Bluetooth keyboards cannot work under BIOS or DOS environment, because the Bluetooth adapter works only in HID mode (Human Interface Device). For this a dual Bluetooth USB adapter would be necessary, which supports both HID and HCI mode (Host Controller Interface.

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 / 10m 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.

Should the precision of the cursor decrease after several months of usage, please check the installed batteries 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.

7.2 Status LEDs of the keyboards (above the Trackball)

• Low Battery [amber LED (KSK-3201 RF) respectively red LED (KSK-3201 BT) - blinking] It indicates that the battery is below 2.2 Volt (KSK-3201 RF) respectively 2.0 V (KSK-3201 BT). It is blinking, until new battery is installed or the battery is total used up. It is fl ashing only while the keyboard is not in sleep mode.
• Pairing LED [gelbe LED (KSK-3201 RF) bzw. blaue LED (KSK-3201 BT) - blinkend] It indicates that the keyboard is in Pairing mode (searching a RF / Bluetooth receiver). When Fn+F1 (Pairing key) are pressed, the LED fl ashes till a receiver has been found or the relevant computer stops pairing in advance.
