I have an HP 2.4GHz wireless keyboard model # KG-0851 (FCC ID: E8HKG-0851, P/N: 505143-371) and an HP 2.4GHz wireless receiver model # RG-0983 (FCC ID: E8HRG-0983, Assy. # WUG1137), both of which turned up among donations to a non-profit computer refurbisher where I volunteer. Can this keyboard be made to work with this receiver? If so, what is the procedure for connecting them?
The receiver does not have a physical "connect" button (or any physical control of any kind) on it. I have tried unplugging and replugging the receiver then, within 60 seconds, pushing the "connect" button on the keyboard, but this has no effect. I know the reciever is operational, since I have a mouse that works with it. I don't know if the keyboard actually works, since there is no battery status light or any other indicator on it (at least, not that I can find). I have verified that the batteries in the keyboard are good.

It is workable but who would pay for the cost
(a) Sending BOTH to somewhere,
(b) To check BOTH codes,
(c) Re-program to allow other other device to have same code with the other
The code can very simple from 0000 to 9999 but we need to have a process.
For your second part. The receiver works with your mouse but won't work with your keyboard UNLESS mouse and keyboard are ONE set.
Hope this makes sense.
Regards.
