Please note that although we guarantee that these keyboards will work perfectly on your WebTV or MSN TV unit or we'll replace them we by no means guarantee that they'll operate your TV set 100%. We have found that they do work perfectly on about 999 TV sets out of 1000 so there's a very good chance that they will run your TV set.
That having been said, it must be added that most people buy our keyboards to run their units and have other more suitable devises to run their TV set.
In addition to letting you type, the keyboard performs many of the same functions as the remote control. You will need to insert batteries into your wireless keyboard.
Inserting batteries into the wireless keyboard
1) Remove the battery compartment door.
2) Insert four AA batteries inside the battery compartment.
3) Replace the battery compartment door.
Pointing the wireless keyboard
The wireless keyboard should be used within 25 feet of the TV, and for best results, at no more than a 45 degree angle. Remember that the keyboard works on line of sight, so if there are any obstructions between the keyboard and the TV, it will seem like the keyboard isn't functioning correctly.

* The batteries may be weak. Replace all batteries with new batteries. For best results, us alkaline batteries.
