Unpacking And Installation

Complete the following steps to install your Avant keyboard:

Carefully unpack your keyboard as you would any other piece of
electronic equipment.

Store the packing material in a safe place.  If, for any reason, you are
required to return the keyboard during the warranty period, the keyboard
must be shipped in the original packaging along with a copy of the invoice/
packing slip.

Turn your computer off.

Disconnect your old keyboard.

Connect the Avant keyboard to your system by plugging the cable into the
appropriate port on your system.

The keyboard comes standard with the 6-pin mini DIN connector.  If you
need a 5-pin AT style plug, please purchase the appropriate adapter.

Press and hold the <Escape> key while turning on your system.  When the
indicator lights blink, release the <Escape> key.  This ensures that the
keyboard is set to the factory default settings.
