Regulations Information

Class B Regulations

USA — Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency

Interference Statement

Note:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a

Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits

are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference

in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate

radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with

the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

How-ever, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular

installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off

and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or

more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that

to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer

could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Canada — Canadian Department of Communications

Radio Interference Regulations Class B Compliance Notice

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise

emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations

of the Canadian Department of Communications.

Caution

1. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

2. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically

designed for wet locations.

3. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone

line has been disconnected at the network interface.

4. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Setting up the System for Use

Selecting a Site

Select a site that has:

• a sturdy and level surface

• space for ventilation

• a grounded three-pronged electrical outlet nearby

• available modem or network cable connection (for connecting to Internet)

• available TV RF cable connection (for watching TV)

Caution: Slots or openings on the system are for ventilation. Do not block

or cover the ventilation openings.

Making Connections

The wireless keyboard and mouse communicate with the FusionPC through a

RF (radio frequency) transceiver that is plugged into one of the available USB

ports. Each wireless component must be operated on its own frequency in order

to avoid RF interference (component failure due to competing signals on the

same channel). The transceiver supplied with the FusionPC supports two distinct

channels that are user selectable via switches located on front of the transceiver.

The factory defaults for FusionPC wireless input devices are set to channel 1 for

the keyboard and channel 2 for the mouse.

Note: The keyboard and mouse must be operated on separate channels to

ensure proper functionality. If both devices are set to the same channel you may

experience abnormal device behavior.

FusionPC manual 6/6 8/21/03 1:27 PM Page 8

All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com

Selecting the RF channel on the

mouse

The channel switch is located on the

bottom of the mouse within the battery

compartment. To access the switch,

turn the mouse over and remove the

battery compartment door. Once the

compartment door is off, the switch

will be viewable just below the batter-

ies. Channel 1 is enabled if the switch

is moved to the left position and chan-

nel 2 is enabled if the switch is moved

to the right.

Selecting the RF channel on the keyboard

The channel switch is located on the bottom of the keyboard just below the

battery compartment. To access the switch, flip the keyboard over and locate

the switch near the battery compartment. Channel 1 is enabled if the switch

is moved to the left position and channel 2 is enabled if the switch is moved

to the right.

Troubleshooting FusionPC wireless input devices

If you find that one or both of the wireless devices are not operating correctly

then try the following actions:

• Ensure that the wireless device channel setting matches the transceiver setting.

• Replace (keyboard) or recharge (mouse) the batteries to ensure sufficient

charge to the device.

• Make sure that each device is on its own channel.

• Use the ID Connect button on the transceiver to "lock down" communication

between the device and the transceiver.

Note: The ID Connect feature allows for multiple connections of FusionPC wire-

less devices within the same channel. For example; two FusionPC computers

within a 10 foot radius of each other, set up in the factory default positions. (i.e.

both keyboards on channel 1 and both mice on channel 2)

Using the ID Connect feature

In the default configuration, two FusionPC computers next to each other would

experience RF interference (abnormal wireless device functionality). Using the

mouse or keyboard of FusionPC #1 would result in the operation of FusionPC

#2 and vice versa. In this scenario it is necessary to "lock down" specific fre-

quencies between each FusionPC and its accompanying wireless devices in

order to prevent crosstalk failures.
