Congratulations on your purchase of Datadesk’s
SmartBoard™, the keyboard that works the
way you do.
The SmartBoard’s patented SmartKey™ layout accommodates
the natural movements of your hands and fingers. Typing is
easier, faster and more comfortable than ever before.
Connecting Your SmartBoard™
The SmartBoard plugs into the USB port on your Mac. The
Power On button is located on the rear edge of the keyboard.
This button will also bring up the shutdown dialogue box.
Located next to the Power On key are two USB ports for
attaching other USB compatible devices.
Adjusting the Wrist Leveler:
The Wrist Leveler located on the bottom of the SmartBoard™ is designed
to provide a straight wrist position while typing. With the Wrist Leveler,
you can position the SmartBoard™ in 3 ways: tow, halfway elevated, or
fully elevated. Select the position that is most comfortable for your work
environment.
Typing with Your SmartBoard™
Datadesk’s new SmartBoard™ has been carefully engineered to encourage
typing in the most natural position. It Incorporates the patented SmartKey™
Layout that especially designed to help alleviate both wrist and finger
stress problems.
While other ergonomic keyboards are designed to lessen wrist problems,
they ignore the associated finger problems which are a major contributor
to typing discomfort and repetitive stress injuries. SmartBoard™ is not
only split for the alignment of the wrists with the forearms, but its
SmartKey™Layout aligns the columns of keys so they match perfectly the
natural “fanning” of the hands and fingers.
