Adjusting the Keyboard Legs

The keyboard legs are designed to accommodate various body sizes, chairs, and desks.

● Pull out or push in the keyboard legs to a position that minimizes bending of
your wrists while typing.

Attaching and Detaching the Palm Lift

(some keyboard models only)

The optional palm lift is designed to help provide more
natural wrist alignment and comfort while typing.

● Turn the keyboard over and slide the tabs on the palm
lift into or out of the slots in the keyboard. If you’re
attaching the palm lift, make sure you slide the tabs
all the way in until they snap securely into place.

Important To maximize the benefit of the palm lift,

make sure that the keyboard legs are pushed in all the way.

About the Keyboard Lights

The keyboard lights indicate the status of the toggle keys, such as NUM LOCK or
CAPS LOCK. For example, if NUM LOCK is on, the NUM LOCK light is on; if CAPS
LOCK is off, the CAPS LOCK light is off. Some keyboard models may use an on-screen
display (rather than a light) to indicate the status of certain toggle keys.

Using the F LOCK Key

The F LOCK toggle key gives your keyboard more functionality by providing
two command modes for the top row of keys. When F LOCK is off, the alternate
commands printed on the top of the keys are enabled. When F LOCK is on, the
standard commands printed on the front of the keys are enabled. You may need to
turn F LOCK on to access certain system key commands labeled on the front of the
keys, such as INSERT or SCROLL LOCK.
