Common Troubleshooting Steps

2. Unplug and re-plug receiver.
3. Re-establish the wireless connections between the mouse, keyboard and receiver.
4. Test batteries in another device. If they are low or drained, replace them.
5. Test the device on another computer.
6. Adjust the position of the receiver to improve wireless range. Large metal objects, radio towers, and other environmental factors may hinder wireless range.

Important: Computer User Health Information
In recent years, medical attention on occupational injuries has identified normal, seemingly harmless activities as a potential cause of a wide range of problems collectively known as Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI) or Cumulative
Trauma Disorders (CTD). It is now recognized that any repetitive motion may contribute to these health problems. As a computer user, you might also be at risk.
By paying attention to the way you perform your work, use your computer and phone, play sports, and work around the house, you can identify the behaviors that may be putting you at risk. If you experience pain, swelling, numbness, or weaknesses in your wrists or hands (especially during sleep) see your physician immediately. These symptoms could mean that you are developing a repetitive stress injury that requires prompt medical attention. For more detailed information, consult your doctor, www.healthycomputing.com
or a reputable book.
