Wireless Kit

 

Product Description

The wireless kit consists of a keyboard, a mouse and a receiver. The keyboard can operate freely up to a radius of about 3m or 9.8 feet and the mouse can operate freely up to 2m or 6.6 feet from the receiver. It will finally free you of the constraints of your desktop by providing a wireless connection between your keyboard, mouse and your PC. Pass around the keyboard or mouse during meetings without having to bother about a cable blocking your way or write e-mails and surf the Internet from the comfort of your living room couch!

In comparison to traditional wireless 27MHz keyboards/mice the used RF technology gives the following advantages:

- More reliable communication using bi-directional and redundant data transmission

- User selectable radio channel to avoid radio frequency inference

- Range up to 2m

Keyboard and mouse radio transmitters operate in 27MHz ISM band. The keyboard and mouse channel is selected from pre-allocated channels out of 11 possible channels in the 27MHz ISM band. The operating channel is automatically selected when pairing keyboard /mouse with receiver. For more detailed information, please refer to the Keyboard & Mouse Channel

The 8193URFII kit can operate out of the box, you only have to pair keyboard, mouse with the receiver when you use multiple 8193URFII kits within operating range of each other or when you experience interference from other 27MHz radio devices. 

The whole keyboard is divided into 6 blocks except the normal keyboard function block. The 6 blocks are Office Application Keys Block, Internet Keys Block, Application Keys Block, Multimedia Keys Block, Enhanced Function Keys Block, and Clipboard Keys Block. These 6 blocks make your keyboard more powerful than ever. The applications and functions you use everyday are included in these blocks. Just by a touch can access to the variety of applications and functions that you use everyday immediately.

The most creative design of this wireless kit is to use the build-in Office keys, the clipboard hot keys, and the scroll wheel on the keyboard to help you saving hands-movement between keyboard and mouse. We want to save your typing time and make you feel more comfortable and joyful.

This wireless kit is compatible with Windows® 98SE, Windows® ME, Windows® 2000 and Windows® XP operating systems.

In order to fully understand and utilize the full functionality of the wireless kit, please read this Help file carefully.

- allocate a new channel for keyboard and mouse. The active channel can be seen in the driver configuration dialog.

This will let your 8193URFII kit coexist with other 27MHz radio devices and nearby 8193URFII kits.

If you click on the KeyMaestro driver icon in the Windows system tray, a dialogue box will pop up. You can check the keyboard and mouse channel at the bottom of the dialogue box.

Hardware Troubleshooting

1. Symptom: The Wireless Kit does not work properly

    Solution: If the Wireless Kit does not work properly, you could follow the steps to check your Wireless Kit:

(1) Unplug the receiver and plug it in your PC USB port again. When the receiver is plugged in, the LED on the top of the receiver will blink 3 times.

(2) Next, please check if the batteries in the keyboard and mouse are installed correctly or not. Also, please make sure you are using good batteries. 

(3) If the Wireless Kit still does not work properly, please follow the Pairing Procedure section above to pair keyboard and mouse with receiver. For more detailed information, please refer to the ID Pairing Procedure

 

2. Symptom: - Mouse works but keyboard not or

    Solution: 

                    - Try to pair keyboard or mouse with receiver. For more detailed information, please refer to the ID Pairing Procedure

- replace batteries for failing keyboard or mouse

 

3. Symptom: Short range of devices

    Cause: Permanent  RF signal reduction either by 

- noise from RFI source e.g. CRT/LCD monitors

- metal desk or other metal object near keyboard, mouse or receiver

    Solution: 

- Relocate receiver. 

- Don’t wrap receiver cable around CRT/LCD monitor base. Let receiver cable hang loose, don’t bundle with other cables.

 

4. Symptom: - keyboard loses keys when typing or

For more information on your PC's BIOS settings, refer to your PC's manual. For more information on how to enable the power management features in Windows, refer to your Windows manual.

(1) Please open the Windows Start Menu Settings Control Panel Power Options Hibernate check the "Enable hibernate Support" and click OK to complete enable the Sleep function.

 

(2) 

10. Symptom: Some enhanced office functions might lose

      Solution: 

- Microsoft Windows operating system and applications must support different language for different countries. It limits the functions of enhanced office keys. So, some enhanced functions are only for target language usage. The descriptions of the enhanced office keys' functions are for reference and may not reflect your keyboard exactly.

 

11. Symptom: The functions of the enhanced office keys do not match the key's printed name or do not work

      Solution: 

- All enhanced office keys follow the definitions of the standard Microsoft shortcut combination keys. They do not need any support from software driver. In few cases, when you press the target enhanced office keys, they do not work or produce different result. This means the applications do not support the standard the definitions of the standard Microsoft shortcut combination keys and the target functions, or the software applications conflict with the definitions.

-We recommend you to contact with the software application dealer or download the new version to upgrade your applications from Microsoft Web site. For example, use Office 2000 to replace Office 97, or use IE 5.0 to replace IE 4.0.

12. Symptom: € The Euro sign doesn't work

      Solution: 

- Make sure the LED of  both "Office Wizard" and "num lock" are on. The € Euro sign only works when both of the Office Wizard and Num Lock are activated.

 

13. Symptom: The enhanced function keys (embedded office keys) do not work:

      Solution: 

- It will give the F1-F12 keys new functions if the the Office Wizard  Key function is enabled. The new functions can support under Microsoft Office (Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and Power Point), IE and other newer applications almost. If the new enhance function keys are used under any older versions or other applications, unexpected results may occur or some enhance function key will not work at all. However, in the meantime Microsoft recommends that all software applications should support Microsoft shortcut combination keys. We recommend using Office2000, XP (2002) and IE5, IE6 or later versions.


Older software applications that do not support enhance function keys
(embedded office keys), for example:

 

 

14. Symptom: The embedded SEND key function does not work:

      Solution: 

- In few case and with some European languages, the SEND key cannot work in “Microsoft Outlook2000 or Outlook2002” when the Microsoft Outlook menu item Use Microsoft Word to edit email messages” is highlighted. To assign the shortcut key for the SEND function, you should carry out the following steps:

(1) Open “Microsoft Word” application and click on “Tools”, “Customize”.

(2) Click on “Commands” and “Keyboard”.

(3) Select “All Commands” from “Categories” and “EmailSend” from “Commands”. Click and move cursor to “Press new shortcut key” blank area then Press the SEND key (the SEND key build on the Keyboard, that is; please make sure Keyboard office lock indicator is already enabled). You will see the  “Alt+S” replace blank area after you press the SEND key. When you click the “Assign” select item, the “Alt+S” will show under “Current keys”.

(4) Click on “Close” and “Word” application to complete the setup process. Re-test the SEND key function under “Microsoft Outlook”: The SEND key function should now be working properly.

Warning: Please don’t click the “Reset All” select item; or you will lose all shortcut key functions.

Note: It is the best way of using the SEND key. You should press “Shift+Tab” to let the cursor jump to “Subject” after completing your email edit, and then press the “SEND” key. Otherwise the “SEND” sometimes fails to work.

If above troubleshooting suggestions still do not solve your problem then please refer to your direct dealer for technical support.
