Introduction

The Freestyle VIP Accessory kit adds V-lifters™
and integrated palm rests to the Freestyle Solo
convertible keyboard, creating the Freestyle VIP
keyboard.

The V-lifters provide two lateral slope (“tenting”)
angles of 10N and 15N. When combined with the
palm rests, tenting relaxes forearms and also
contributes to relaxed neck and shoulder muscles.

With the Pivot Tether™ accessory installed
(included with the Freestyle Solo keyboard), adjustable front opening (splay) is combined with adjustable
tenting. However, if the Pivot Tether is removed, total separation of the left and right keying modules is
achieved (up to ~5 inches). Keyboards with longer linking cables for greater separation are available by
special order (contact your dealer or [e-mail]).

Contents of kit

The Freestyle VIP Accessory Kit includes a pair of
palm rests with replaceable, self-adhesive palm
pads. Also included are a pair of V-lifters which
mount to the underside of the keyboard after the
palm rests have been installed.

Installing palm rests (install first, before installing V-lifter)
Be sure you install each palm rest on the correct keying module, with the
wider end of the support area towards the middle of the keyboard. Lay the
keyboard on a flat surface and place palm rests in front of the appropriate
keying module. Slide each palm rest towards its keying module to engage the
three mounting tabs in their respective slots.

To remove the palm rests, hold a keying module in one hand and its palm rest
in the other hand. Pull the palm rest straight away from the keying module.
For easier removal, lift up gently on the palm rest while pulling it away from
the keyboard. Note: Don’t remove one corner before the other–pull the palm

rest straight away from the keyboard.

Installing Freestyle V-lifters

™ (install palm rests first)

The Pivot Tether, which comes with the Freestyle Solo keyboard, is fully
compatible with the V-lifters so it does not need to be removed before
installing the V-lifters. Place the keyboard upside down on a flat surface.
Each V-lifter is labeled “Right” or “Left,” and also has a colored dot (red for
right, blue for left) that should match the corresponding dot on the palm rest.

To install, insert the two end tabs of the left V-lifter into the square holes on
the bottom of the left keying module. Lower the other end until the two
“squeeze tabs” snap into palm rest. Repeat with right side. When both V­lifters are installed, flip the keyboard gently into the upright position.

To remove, position keyboard upside down. Press the “squeeze tabs” on a V­lifter slightly and lift up gently until the two tabs at the other end exit from
the square holes.

Adjusting the V-lifter tenting angle

The V-lifters maintain a 10 degree tenting angle when the two legs of the
“V” are contacting the work surface. To change to the 15 degree angle, flip
each V-lifter to the higher (single leg) position.

Removing Pivot Tether

™

Slide release button

Pivot Tether

The Pivot Tether may be removed if you want to completely
separate the keying modules. Place the keyboard on a flat surface,
slide the release button on the top rear of a keying module. Pull
that keying module up to release it from the pivot tether. Don't
worry if moderate force is required–it won't break!

If you wish to remove the pivot tether completely, slide the other
release button and wiggle the Pivot Tether while pulling it away from the keying module.
