Gyration Compact Keyboard  
Gyration’s wireless Compact Keyboard is small, ultralight,  
and perfect for conference rooms, classrooms, traveling, or  
even the living room with your media PC. Having no line-of-  
sight limitations, its powerful range allows you to control your  
PC from anywhere in the room and when you include the whis-  
per quite keys, you have the ultimate in portability and effi-  
ciency.  
Key Features  
Setting Up and Synchronizing the Keyboard  
and the Gyration RF Receiver  
When installing the Compact Keyboard for the first time or when  
adding additional Gyration devices to the system, it is neces-  
sary to perform a Teach/Learn sequence to synchronize the  
devices. To set up and synchronize the Compact Keyboard and  
the RF Receiver:  
1. Connect the receiver cable into an available USB port and  
1
 
 
power on your computer. Your operating system should  
detect the new hardware device and initiate the installa-  
tion procedure. Continue to follow the standard USB  
device installation screens until installation is complete.  
2. Insert four AAA batteries into the keyboard.  
3. Press and hold the Learn button on the receiver for two  
slowly, indicating the receiver is in “Learn Mode.”  
4. Press and release the Teach button located at the top of  
the keyboard. The Status light on the receiver will blink  
rapidly for four seconds, then begin to blink slowly.  
Note: At this time, press the Teach button on any additional devices  
(such as a second keyboard, an Ultra Mouse, or a GyroRe-  
mote).  
5. To exit Learn Mode, press the Learn button on the  
receiver for two seconds. Otherwise, Learn Mode will  
automatically time out after five minutes.  
If more than one Gyration device is being installed on the  
same system, place the receiver into Learn Mode (step 3  
above) and then press the Teach button on each device before  
exiting Learn Mode. However, do not press the Learn button  
on the receiver for each device to be added (see “Keyboard  
Troubleshooting Tips” on page 11).  
When the receiver is put into Learn Mode, it erases its mem-  
ory of previously learned devices and looks for new devices.  
Therefore when adding a new device to a system, it is neces-  
sary to put the receiver into Learn Mode and then press the  
Teach button on all the devices that will be used on the sys-  
tem.  
After the Teach/Learn sequence is performed, the receiver  
and device(s) will remain synchronized after powering down  
and/or changing channels. It is only necessary to perform the  
Teach/Learn sequence when setting a device up for the first  
time or when adding additional devices to the system.

Determining Which Channel the Keyboard is  
Using  
The Compact Keyboard has eight individual channels  
available to it. To determine which channel a device is  
currently using:  
1. Press and quickly release the Channel button at the top  
of the keyboard.  
2. Count the number of times the green Status light at the  
top of the keyboard flashes. The number of flashes indi-  
cates the channel the keyboard is using.  
Note: If the keyboard’s channel is changed when the computer is  
powered down or the receiver is not connected, the devices  
will become unsynchronized. When the system is running,  
click and release the Channel button as described above to  
confirm the channel. The keyboard broadcasts a message  
across all eight channels that informs the receiver what chan-  
nel it is currently operating on. The receiver then automati-  
cally restores synchronization.  
Changing the Channel the Keyboard is Using  
When two devices are being used in the same proximity, each  
device should be set to operate on a unique channel. For the  
best reception, space the channels apart by one or more chan-  
nels. For example, setting the channels to “2” and “4” is rec-  
ommended over setting the channels to “2” and “3.  
If you are installing three or more devices on a single receiver,  
see “Installing 3 or More Devices” on page 9. Remember if a  
Teach/Learn sequence has already been performed, it is not  
necessary to re-synchronize the devices after a channel  
change.  
To change the channel:  
1. Press and quickly release the Channel button located at  
the top of the keyboard.  
2. When you release the Channel button, the keyboard will  
change to the next sequential channel and the green Sta-  
tus light at the top of the keyboard will flash. The number  
3
 
 
of flashes indicates the new channel the keyboard is  
using.  
Powering the Keyboard On and Off  
To conserve battery life, the keyboard enters a “Sleep Mode”  
after several minutes of non-use. In Sleep Mode, the keyboard  
only uses battery power when a button is pushed. To awake  
from Sleep Mode, click any button.  
It is only necessary to power down your keyboard if traveling  
without its protective cover (included in the Ultra Professional  
model). If the hard shell cover is used, powering down is not  
required and the keyboard will remain in Sleep Mode with no  
radio transmission. However, it is recommended you power  
down to avoid inadvertent key presses that may occur without  
snapping on the cover.  
To power on:  
Simultaneously press and release the Channel and  
Teach buttons at the top of the keyboard for three  
seconds. It will confirm it is powering on by flashing its  
Status light for one second.  
To power off:  
Simultaneously press and release the Channel and  
Teach buttons at the top of the keyboard. It will  
immediately power off and be unresponsive to button  
clicks. It will confirm it is powering off by flashing its  
Status light three times.

Keyboard Usage Tips  
Some studies suggest that long periods of repetitive motion,  
improper workstation set-up, or incorrect body position may  
be linked to serious injury. If you experience any discomfort in  
your hands, wrists, arms, neck or back (such as pain, numb-  
ness, weakness), consult a qualified health professional.  
To reduce the risks of such injuries, follow these precautions:  
Take breaks frequently. Experts suggest taking at least  
one 5-10 minute break every hour.  
Avoid prolonged, repetitive tasks. Vary your tasks  
throughout the day.  
Assess your workstation and position frequently used  
items closest to you.  
Maintain proper shoulder, elbow and wrist alignment.  
Shoulders should be relaxed with elbows at your side and  
wrists should be kept straight.  
Avoid using wrist or palm rests while typing.

Gyration RF Receiver  
Learn Button  
Pressing the Learn button for two seconds puts the receiver  
into Learn Mode allowing you to synchronize one or more  
devices with the receiver. After the devices have been  
synchronized, pressing the Learn button again for two  
seconds takes the receiver out of Learn Mode. If the receiver  
is not manually taken out of Learn Mode, it will automatically  
return to Normal Mode after five minutes.  
Status LED  
The Status LED light displays useful information about the  
modes of operation and the connection between the receiver  
and transmitter(s). Its various states are:  
Remains off when the receiver is operating in Normal  
8
 
Mode and no devices are transmitting.  
Blinks slowly (one blink per second) when the receiver  
is in Learn Mode and is awaiting a Teach instruction from  
a device.  
Flickers rapidly when the receiver is operating in  
Normal Mode and a synchronized device is transmitting. If  
there is radio interference, the flickering light will be  
inconsistent.  
Blinks rapidly for a four-second burst when it is in  
Learn Mode processing a Teach instruction, and  
synchronizing the receiver with the device.  
Keyboard LEDs  
The Keyboard Status LEDs indicate whether your computer  
has the Num Lock, Caps Lock, and/or Scroll Lock features acti-  
vated.  
Num Lock: Used to toggle a combination number/cursor  
keypad between numeric keys and cursor keys.  
Caps Lock: When activated, causes all alphabetic  
characters to be uppercase, but has no effect on other  
keys.  
Scroll Lock: Used to toggle between scrolling and non-  
scrolling mode (on PC keyboards). When activated, the  
arrow keys scroll the screen regardless of the current  
cursor location.  
Installing 3 or More Devices  
The RF receiver can be taught to recognize up to eight devices  
(such as mice, remotes, and keyboards) on a system, but only  
two of those devices may be used simultaneously.  
When setting up a system with a single receiver and three or  
more devices, the following guidelines must be followed:  
Select two channels that are free of outside interference  
and install all devices on either of those two channels.  
9
 
 
When possible, it is recommended that the two chosen  
channels be separated by at least one unused channel.  
For example, setting the channels to “2” and “4” is  
recommended over setting the channels to “2” and “3.  
Any of the devices installed on one channel may be used  
simultaneously with any of the devices on the other  
channel. Two devices that share a channel may be used  
alternately. When installing the devices try to determine  
which devices will be used simultaneously and set them  
on opposite channels.  
Example: Mouse One is used by a presenter for cursor control, and  
Mouse Two and a keyboard are used by an assistant to input  
data. Mouse One is set at channel 3. Mouse Two is also set at  
channel 3 and the keyboard is set at channel 5.  
With this configuration, Mouse One and the keyboard can be  
used simultaneously. Or, Mouse Two and the keyboard can be  
used simultaneously. However since Mouse One and Mouse  
Two share the same channel, they can only be used alter-  
nately.  
A low-power consumer device (i.e., Ultra Mouse with 30-  
ft. range) should not be used simultaneously with a high-  
power professional device (i.e., RF Keyboard with 100-ft.  
range). One or both devices may not work properly if data  
is being transmitted by the two units at the same time.  
For optimal simultaneous performance, it is  
recommended that you use two low-powered devices or  
two high-powered devices. If you wish to use both a high-  
and low-power device simultaneously, it is recommended  
that you alternate usage between the devices.
