Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Receiver 2.1

[lorenzdominic_]

Hi

What do the symbols A, F and 1 mean on the Microsoft Wireless Optical
Desktop Receiver that comes with the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop
1000?

When the mouse and keyboard are working ok It appears that the number 1
and F are lit up but A is not.

I have a keyboard and mouse setup that is the same at work and typing
and clicking is playing up and seems irritably slow. The Microsoft
Wireless Optical Desktop Receiver is only showing F lit up. Does this
mean there is a problem somewhere?

Regards
Dominic

F = F-Lock.. 1 = Num Lock.. A = Caps Lock.. if the light is on, then the
function is in an 'ON' state..

A := Caps Lock
1 := Num Lock
F := F Lock

Lit up means the lock is on.

No.

The slowness may be due to low batteries; to an inability of the receiver
and peripherals to see one another clearly (try moving the receiver closer);
and to congestion (for lack of a better word) on the USB port that the
receiver is attached to.
