The wireless mouse works fine but the keyboard is unresponsive.   I believ there is a sequence of keys which can be pressed to syn the keyboard with the wirless receiver but there are no buttons on the receiver, keyboard or mouse.

Any help would be appreicated.

    ! Note:

    When you replace the keyboard, please only follow the instructions for “How To Pair the Keyboard”. When you replace the mouse, please follow the instructions for “How to Pair the Mouse” and “How to Pair the Keyboard” to pair the mouse and keyboard respectively.

    How To Pair the Mouse

    Before pairing the mouse with the computer, please make sure the battery is inserted.

    1.      Take the dongle out of the mouse battery compartment, remove the old dongle in the PC USB port, and insert the new dongle in the PC USB port.

    2.      Press the right, middle and left buttons simultaneously, then switch on the mouse. The mouse will switch to pairing mode when the LED blinks slowly (around 2 times/second).

    3.      Put the mouse close to the dongle (within 30 cm) for pairing.

    Attention

    The whole process must be completed within 30 seconds, otherwise the mouse will switch back to normal mode.

    If the mouse pairs successfully, the mouse LED will blink quickly 10 times (around 5 times/second). If not, please repeat steps 1 to 3.

    How To Pair the Keyboard

    1.    Pull out the dongle from the PC USB port, wait, then plug it in again.

    2.    Put the batteries into the battery compartment, but do not close the compartment yet.

    3.    Press the F2, F3 and F4 keys simultaneously, then close the battery compartment. The keyboard will switch to pairing mode when the LED blinks slowly (around 2 times/second).

    4.    Put the keyboard close to the dongle (within 30 cm) for pairing.

    Attention:

    The whole process must be completed within 30 seconds, otherwise the keyboard will switch back to normal mode.

    If the keyboard pairs successfully, the keyboard LED will blink quicky 10 times (around 5 times/second). If not, please repeat steps 1 to 3.

    1. unplug the dongle from the system.
    2. Take the battery cover off of the keyboard.
    3. Plug the dongle into the machine.
    4. while pressing all three function keys at the same time put the battery cover back on the keyboard.
    5. the light should begin flashing... you can at this point remove your fingers from the function keys.
    6. hold the keyboard as close to the dongle as possible.
    7. test the keyboard.

    We have successfully paired many keyboards here at Lenovo. If done correctly it will work after a few tries if not immediately.

    work fine for me. Just don't follow the instruction from the top of the page. only follow this one. I will copy and paste it here from GlenRae's post for less confusion:

    "

    1. unplug the dongle from the system.
    2. Take the battery cover off of the keyboard.
    3. Plug the dongle into the machine.
    4. while pressing all three function keys at the same time put the battery cover back on the keyboard.
    5. the light should begin flashing... you can at this point remove your fingers from the function keys.
    6. hold the keyboard as close to the dongle as possible.
    7. test the keyboard.

    Here are my notes on how to make the pairing actually work.

    On the Keyboard -- I found that you can't wait too long between letting go of the F2, F3, and F4 key before you press the 3 key.

    On the Mouse -- Press all three buttons, power on mouse, release all three buttons for 1 sec, then press all three buttons again and hold, then the led between the buttons should blink red slowly.

    (not sure if you have to keep holding the three buttons at this point, try it both ways), but needs to be real close, less than 1 foot to the USB dongle. When it blinks green it should be working.
