once you remove the batteries, the wirless / ir connection is lost. You usually have to resync it with the reciever. Usually a reset button on the reciever, and one on the KB...

The other option to check is that is the reciever, (usually looks like a mouse) is not obstructed, and it can see the KB.

failing that belkin has a lifetime warranty....use it and get a new one
