Getting Started - Initial Keyboard Setup
Connecting your keyboard via USB:
1. GTU-0088 Keyboard users,
begin by select your operating system by adjusting the
switch located on the back of the keyboard to either PC or Mac mode.
GTN-0099 Keyboard users,
by default the keyboard ships with the PS2 adapter
connected. To connect via USB simply remove the purple PS2 adapter from the end
of the keyboard cord.
2. With your computer turned on, plug the Goldtouch V2 Keyboard into an open USB
port on your desktop or laptop.
3. Please allow sufficient time for Windows or Mac OS to automatically recognize the
keyboard and install the proper drivers.
4. When the system level drivers are installed and Windows or MAC OS setup is
completed, you can begin working.
Additional USB Setup Information
Laptop with Docking Station:
If you are using a laptop through a Docking Station, please
connect the keyboard directly into an available USB port on the computer itself for the first time
configuration and driver installation. Once you have followed the instructions above, you can
connect the keyboard through the Docking Station for regular use.
Desktop or Laptop with Limited USB Ports:
We recommend that your keyboard always be
plugged directly into your computers USB port if possible. If your computer does not have a
sufficient number of USB points you may want to add a powered USB hub or port expander to
accommodate multiple devices (like mice, printers, numeric keypads, PDA’s, etc.).
Multiple Computers via KVM Switch:
If you are connecting two or more computers through a KVM
switch, be sure to install the keyboard onto each computer that will be used before connecting it
to the KVM switch. A KVM switch will not allow the drivers to install automatically; therefore it is
necessary to connect the keyboard directly into each computer for proper installation for the first
time. Be sure that your KVM switch is for USB devices, not PS/2.
Connecting your keyboard via PS2
(available on the GTN-0099)
1.
With your computer turned off, plug the purple PS2 Adapter that ships with your
keyboard, on the end of your keyboard cord, into the keyboard PS2 port on your
computer.
2. Turn your computer on. When setup is complete, you can begin working.

Step Two, go Vertical!
Your next adjustment is to correct the inward turn of
your wrists or pronation.
1. First, let’s find your tent angle. Start by grasping a pen in your hand with your palm
facing down.
2. Now, relax and rotate your arm (clockwise if the pen is in your right hand, counter-
clockwise if you are left handed) until you feel a release in pressure — this angle
is usually between 7 and 15 degrees. Congratulations. You’ve found your tenting
angle.
3. Release the latch on the top of the keyboard.
4. Lift the segments by grasping the segments near the center – close to the ball and
replicate the angle you found earlier. Don’t forget to keep your split angle as part of
this final adjustment. Once you’ve made this final adjustment, lock the lever back
into position. You may find that over a period of time, these two angles may change.
Feel free to continue adjusting the keyboard to dial-in your own personal split and
tent angle for greatest comfort.
NOTE: Always ensure that your fingers or other foreign objects are not in between the key-
board and the locking handle when closing the lever. It’s important NOT to over-adjust the
keyboard. See our website www.goldtouch.com for a video demonstration on how to prop-
erly adjust your Goldtouch keyboard.
How to adjust the Goldtouch V2
Step One, dialing in personalized comfort.
A leading contributing factor to the development
of computer-related repetitive strain injuries is the
flat standard keyboard, which places the forearm and wrist in awkward positions for long
periods of time.
1. Your first adjustment of your new Goldtouch V2 Keyboard is to adjust the keyboard
to straighten your wrists and forearm along the horizontal plane. Start by releasing
the latch on the top of the keyboard.
2. Now, move the segments until the angle of each panel matches the natural line
created by your fingers across the center row of keys when both your wrists and
forearms are straight.
3. This first individual adjustment will correct for undue pressure caused in the wrist
and forearm when typing on a normal keyboard.
4. When you’ve established the correct angle, lock the lever down.
NOTE: Goldtouch recommends you work in this position for a few days until you’re comfort-
able with the split of the panels, compared to your previous keyboard.
