Before using the device for the first time, please carefully read through the following instructions and note all warnings, even if you are familiar with handling electronic equipment. Store this manual in a safe place for future reference. If you sell or give away the device, please ensure you handover these instructions too.

Operating environment

Place the device on a firm, level surface and do not place any objects on the device. The device is not designed for use in rooms with a high temperature or air humidity (e.g. bathrooms) or excessive dust. Operating temperature and operating humidity: 5°C to 40°C, max. 90% relative humidity

Please ensure that:

• no direct heat sources (e.g. heaters) act on the device
• the device is not exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light
• you avoid contact with splashing and dripping water and aggressive liquids and that the device is not used near water, in particular, the device must never be immersed (do not place any objects filled with liquids on or near the device, e.g. vases or drinks);
• the device is not in the immediate vicinity of magnetic fields (e.g. loudspeakers);
• there are no naked flames or fire sources (e.g. burning candles) on or next to the device;
• no foreign bodies penetrate;
• the device is not exposed to large temperature fluctuations;
• the device is not exposed to excessive impacts and vibrations

Cables

Always hold all cables at the plug and do not pull on the cable itself. Never touch a cable with wet hands as this can cause a short-circuit or electric shock. Do not place the device, pieces of furniture or other heavy objects on the cable and ensure the cables are not kinked or bent, especially at the plug and at the connection sockets. Never make a know in a cable and never bind it together with other cables. All cables should be laid so that nobody treads on them or is hindered by them. Do not use adapter plugs or extension cables unless they conform to the applicable safety standards.

Maintenance and care

Maintenance work is necessary if the device has been damaged, if liquid or objects have got inside the housing, if the device has been exposed to rain or moisture or if it is not working properly or has been dropped. Switch the device off immediately if you see a build up of smoke, hear unusual sounds or smell unusual odours. In these cases you must not continue to use the device until it has been checked over by a qualified person. All repairs must be carried out by trained, qualified personnel only. Never open the housing of the device or the accessories. Clean the device with a clean, dry cloth only, never use aggressive liquids.

Children

Electrical devices must be kept out of reach of children. Never allow children to use electrical devices without supervision. Children are not always able to correctly recognise possible dangers. Batteries and small parts can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Store batteries out of reach of small children. If a battery has been swallowed, you must seek medical assistance immediately. Keep packaging films, foils and sheeting out of reach of children too. Risk of suffocation.

Intended normal use

This keyboard and mouse set, consisting of a wireless keyboard, wireless mouse and radio receiver, is a information technology device. It may only be used for private purposes, not for industrial or other commercial purposes. In addition, the device must not be used outside closed rooms or in tropical climate regions. Only use connection cables and external devices which conform to the safety regulations and which correspond to this device with respect to electromagnetic compatibility and screening quality. This device fulfils all relevant standards related to its CE conformity. If the device is modified without the manufacturer's prior approval, compliance with these standards is no longer guaranteed. Use the accessories specified by the manufacturer only.

If you are not using the device within the Federal Republic of Germany you must comply with the national regulations and laws of the country in which it is used.

Batteries

Always insert the batteries correctly, i.e. ensuring the polarities are correctly positioned, do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries and never throw batteries onto a fire. Do not simultaneously use different

batteries (old (used) and new, alkali and carbon, etc.). Remove the batteries if you are not going to be using the device for a lengthy period. Risk of explosion and leakage in the event of improper use.

Actively think about protecting the environment. Used batteries do not belong in domestic waste. They must be submitted to a collection service for waste batteries.

Radio interface

Switch off the device if you are on an aeroplane, in a hospital, in an operating theatre or near a medical electronic system. The radio waves transmitted can disrupt the function of sensitive equipment.

Keep the device at least 20cm away from a pacemaker as otherwise proper function of the pacemaker can be disrupted by radio waves.

The transmitted radio waves can cause interference noises in hearing aids.

If the radio components are switched on, keep the device away from flammable gases and potentially explosive atmospheres (e.g. paint shop), as the transmitted radio waves can trigger an explosion or fire.

The range of radio waves depends on environmental and ambient conditions.

Data traffic via a wireless connection can also be received or intercepted by unauthorised third parties. TARGA GmbH is not responsible for radio or television interference caused by unpermitted changes to this device. Furthermore, TARGA does not accept any responsibility for the replacement or exchange of connection cables and devices not specified by TARGA GmbH. The user is solely responsible for the correction of faults caused by such unpermitted changes and for replacement or exchange of the devices.

Conformity

The wireless mouse & keyboard set has been tested and approved with respect to compliance with the basic requirements and other relevant regulations of the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC, the Directive for low voltage electrical equipment 73/23/EEC and the R&TTE Directive 99/5/EC.

Disposal of old devices

Devices marked with this symbol are subject to the European Directive 2002/96/EC. All waste electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of separately from normal domestic waste in officially provided collection points. By properly disposing of old equipment you avoid environmental damage and a risk to your own personal health. Further information on proper disposal of the old device according to the regulations is available from your local authority, the waste disposal services authority or the shop where you purchased the product.

Connect the radio receiver to the computer

Connect with the USB port:

Plug the USB connector of the radio receiver into a free USB socket of your switched on computer. The PS/2 connector (green) must not be connected via USB. The operating system recognises the new USB device and automatically installs the suitable drivers. During this one-off procedure the Windows® 2000/XP operating system reports: "New hardware found" and shortly afterwards: "The new hardware has been installed and can now be used."

i The keyboard and mouse still do not work as they have not yet been synchronised with the receiver. Please synchronise as described on page 10.

Connect with the PS/2 port:

Ensure your computer is switched off. Plug the USB-PS/2 adapter (violet) into the USB connector of the radio receiver, then connect the PS/2 connector of the radio receiver with the PS/2 mouse port of your computer and the attached adapter with the PS/2 keyboard port of your computer. The PS/2 ports are marked with colours on many computers (green = mouse connection, violet = keyboard connection). If your computer is not clearly marked, please refer to the relevant documentation you received with your computer. Then switch on the computer as usual.

3 PS/2 port for the mouse (green)

4 PS/2 port for the mouse on the computer (green)

5 PS/2 port for the keyboard on the computer (violet)

6 USB-PS/2 adapter for the keyboard (violet)

i The keyboard and mouse still do not work as they have not yet been synchronised with the receiver. Please synchronise as described on the following pages.

Synchronizing the devices

The keyboard and mouse set is connected to the receiver by means of radio transmission. The radio channel must be synchronized the first time you startup the mouse and keyboard and after each battery change. To do this, position the mouse and keyboard in the immediate vicinity of the radio receiver.

1. Press the synchronizer button on the radio receiver.
2. Press the synchronizer button (figure page 7) on the underside of the keyboard. Take care not to put down the keyboard so it is resting on its top (keyboard side down) to avoid pressing keys.
3. Press the synchronizer button (figure page 7) on the underside of the mouse.

i Ensure you carry out the synchronizing procedure in the correct order within 25 seconds.

If the mouse or keyboard are now used the indicator light of the radio receiver flashes as a sign that it is receiving radio signals. If the devices do not work properly after the initial synchronization please repeat steps 1 to 3.

If you replace the batteries in the keyboard or mouse you must repeat the radio synchronization.
