Basic functions RF matching The device has been pre-coded at the factory to match a keyboard to the receiver. This ensures that two or more of the same device will not interfere with each other on the same wireless spectrum. In the event this device is in conflict with another wireless device, you can change channels to avoid interference by pressing the two keys FN and Esc about 10 seconds. The RF indicators will flash from slow to rapid. Once the channel has changed, the RF indicator will fall back to a slow flash confirming that the change was successful.
