Troubleshooting

Keypad not responding

Ensure the AAA battery is correctly inserted and has sufficient charge. Check that the USB receiver is securely plugged into the computer's USB port. Try a different USB port. Ensure the keypad is within the wireless range of the receiver.

Intermittent connection or dropped signals

Move the USB receiver to a less obstructed USB port, preferably on the front of the computer or closer to the keypad. Reduce interference from other wireless devices like routers or microwaves. Replace the AAA battery if it's low.

Certain keys not registering

Check for any debris or obstructions around the specific keys. If the issue persists, contact customer support as there might be a hardware fault.

Typing errors or incorrect characters

Verify that the correct keyboard layout is selected in your operating system's settings. Ensure the keypad is functioning as expected by testing all keys. Restart your computer.
