Help installing cordless mouse and keyboard

18 years ago

I bought a Labtec cordless mouse and keyboard today because of a good rebate deal. To say the least, the install instructions are quite sketchy. What should I do about my present corded accessories? Do I leave these connected until after the cordless ones are activated? I did this and the new ones do not show up in Device Manager. Or should I unplug the corded ones first and then activate the cordless ones? Since the comp did not recognize the cordless ones, I am still using the corded ones to write this. Would appreciate some additional instructions from someone who has done this. Thanks.
