Logitech Presenter R800 For Mac

Dear Community Members,
I want to share my positive experience of connecting the Logitech Professional Presenter R800 to Mac OS X 10.5.8. Target application I describe here is Microsoft PowerPoint 2008.
1) Connect USB dongle to a Mac.
2) Ignore 'Keyboard Setup Assistant' asking you to hold some buttons on the newly connected 'keyboard' by pushing red cross button in the upper right corner.
3) Now your device is connected and the system likely shouldn't ask you for any keyboard setup in the future.
4) All buttons of the presenter work properly with Microsoft PowerPoint 2008, except one - 'Launch slide show'. To fix this go to *System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts tab -> + button*.
Then specify the following:
Application: *'Microsoft PowerPoint'*
Menu Title: *'Slide Show'*
Keyboard Shortcut: 'F5'

MacBook Pro + MacBook Air + Mac Mini (early 2009), Mac OS X (10.5.8)
