Receiver
Do you use a wireless
keyboard or mouse? I know some of you do, because you've ordered them
from us before! If you do, I'm sure you know that they come with a receiver.
Right? Right! Well, if you're not sure what I'm talking about, allow me
to explain it a little more. Basically, the wireless receiver is the component
that is used to connect your computer with the keyboard and mouse. I mean,
it's a good thing it's there. Something has to do it or your keyboard
and mouse would not work!
The receiver works
through signals. It picks up the wireless signals from your keyboard or
mouse, which then gives it the capability to communicate with your computer
system. Some keyboard and mice sets come with two receivers (one for the
keyboard and one for the mouse), but most will only have one. Now, when
you're trying to find a spot to sit your receiver, there are a couple
things you'll want to keep in mind. And here they are.
For one, you'll want
to take note of the distance away from any interferences, such as your
monitor, computer case, fans, fluorescent lights, etc. To accomplish that,
it's best to keep the receiver at least eight inches away from any of
those items. The next thing you'll want to keep in mind is the distance
away from the actual keyboard and mouse. The receiver should be set up
at least eight inches (or up to six feet) away from those as well. If
you follow all these guidelines, you will have the best wireless setup
in town (or at least in your own house!)
