the keyboard has received a valid programming command or is in a temporary programming state. Typically
four flashes are used to indicate when a feature is activated, and one or two flashes signal when a feature
has been deactivated.
Optional foot pedals
Kinesis Contoured keyboards were designed to be paired with either an optional Advantage Single Pedal
(FS007RJ11) or Triple Foot Pedal (FS007TAF) to further reduce the strain put on overworked hands and
fingers (see section 3.4). A pedal can be used to perform an individual keystroke or a complex macro,
redistributing a portion of the workload away from your hands. A common foot pedal usage (the default for a
single pedal) is to activate the embedded numeric 10
- key keypad using the “ keypad shift ” action.
3.0 Installation and Setup
3.1 In the Box
Included are a Quick Start Guide and additional keycap(s) for the top - row thumb keys, plus a removal
tool (Fig 10). The U.S. model has 4 extra keycaps
to support PC and Mac Thumb Key Modes (see
Section 5.3), European models have one
Windows key. If you plan to change the thumb
keys to PC or Mac mode, it is advisable to first
install and test the keyboard first with the default
thumb keycaps and actions.
3.2 Compatibility
The Advantage2 keyboard is a multimedia USB keyboard that uses generic drivers provided by the operating
system, so no special drivers or software is required. Therefore it is
“ plug - and - play ” with all operating systems
that support full - featured USB keyboards.

Known compatibility issues
Some interface devices that accept USB keyboards do not support multimedia keyboards such as the
Advantage2. These can include some KVM (keyboard
- video - mouse) switches and IP telephony devices.
If you currently use keyboard customization software (e.g., Autohotkey, Karabiner, etc.), that software may
create unpredictable behavior and diminished performance when interacting with the Advantage2
’ s SmartSet
Programming Engine.
3.3 Connecting Your Keyboard for the First Time
For now, ignore the short cable under the back tunnel that has the telephone connector (RJ11 style). It is
used to connect an optional Kinesis Advantage Foot Pedal (see section 3.4).
1). Plug the Advantage2 into your computer ’ s USB port. A device installation notice will appear on your
screen. Note: Mac Users may be prompted with the Keyboard Setup Assistant. Follow the on - screen
prompts to complete the Setup.
2). When the auto - installation is completed, you should see a “ device is ready to use ” notice on your
screen.
