Targus manufactures two types of wireless devices: mice and keyboards. The term "wireless" refers to devices that use Radio Frequency (RF) to connect to a system. This requires a RF base that plugs into a USB port on the computer, and a RF device, which is the mouse or keyboard. Targus also offers Bluetooth devices as well, which work similarly, but use Bluetooth technology rather than RF. The Targus devices are plug-and-play, which means they do not require a hardware driver in order to function. However, to get the full features of the wireless devices, a software driver must be installed.
Step 1
Open the battery cover of the wireless device and insert the batteries. The battery cover on a Targus wireless keyboard is on the underside of the keyboard, near the top. For a mouse, push the notch on the back of the mouse, then lift the cover up.
