Connecting to your computer
The Kinesis JSB
™
Foot Switch may be connected to any USB port. The first
time this is done, it is best to connect it
after
your computer has booted up and is
logged in (if you have a network) so that you can see the “new device detected”
message.
Drivers (Windows 2000 through Windows 7)
The device installs itself automatically as a generic HID device on all recent
versions of Windows without requiring user-supplied drivers. Once the required
generic driver is installed, the JSB foot switch connects like a standard USB
joystick. Just plug the cable into a USB port on your computer, whether the
computer is running or not.

Flammable gases
The JSB foot switch is not designed to be used in an environment with
flammable or explosive gases, such as an anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen, or
nitrous oxide.
Duty cycle
The JSB footswitch is rated for continuous operation, though the computer or
operating system may affect how the device performs under such conditions.
Normal usage consists of intermittent pressing of the pedal to initiate a joystick
button action.
Cleaning
Occasional cleaning is recommended by first disconnecting the control module
from the computer, then wiping the pedals and electronics enclosure with a damp
cloth. Alternatively, a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol (70% isopropanol)
may be used though any silk-screened graphics on the electronics enclosure may
be damaged over time by solvent effects. Do not immerse or allow liquid to
penetrate the interior of the control module or foot pedal. This product is not
designed to be sterilized or to be used in a sterile environment.
