You are certain that it is Bluetooth and not simply a wireless keyboard 
and mouse? I am wondering about the MX5000 (or should this be MX5500?) 
and the different number of MX1000 for the mouse.

If it is Bluetooth, my wife uses Bluetooth headphones for the digital TV 
and she has to reconnect to the Bluetooth in the TV everytime she wants 
to use the headphones.

There is some FAQs etc on the 'net so why not do a search or go directly 
to http://www.logitech.com/bluetooth .
