Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 8000

I have a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 8000 which has a proximity sensor to detect when you approach it and will then wake up. But when I first got it it was not working, then a month or so after having it it started to work. Now a couple of months later it has stopped again. Does anyone know if this feature can be turned off and on again, if so how. Thanks

Thanks for the link speedster123, it has a lot of good info. But it looks like my keyboard has a fault as there is no mention for disabling the proximity sensor. Oh well I will have to try and get a replacement. Thanks again
