Please read these instructions completely before attempting to connect your new
keyboard. A drawing of the keyboard and optional numeric keypad showing the
key layout and cable connections is provided below.
Connecting your keyboard
This keyboard is USB compatible. USB devices are designed to safely connect
and disconnect whether or not your computer is running. However, the first time
you use it, do so when the system is running so you can see the system recognize
it and automatically install the generic driver.
The keyboard is also PS/2 compatible using the attached purple adapter. When
using the adapter, always turn off your computer before connecting the keyboard.
Connecting a numeric keypad
If you prefer a separate numeric keypad, a USB model with built-in USB ports,
such as the Kinesis AC210USB, can serve as a hub to connect the Maxim
keyboard and even a pointing device.
If you connect the keyboard to your computer via the PS/2 adapter, you will need
to use a USB keypad unless your keypad has been specially designed with a PS/2
pass-through connector.
Compatibility
The Maxim keyboard is intended for computers designed to accept either USB or
PS/2 keyboards. Apple Macintosh systems may require adjusting the keyboard
configuration in the control panel since the Windows keys become “Command”
keys and are usually positioned next to the Space bar on Apple keyboard.
If you have a problem, please contact Kinesis Technical Support (see page 19).
Temperature
If the keyboard is brought into the installation site from a cold environment,
condensation may form. Before operating the keyboard, wait until it is absolutely
dry and has reached approximately the same temperature as the installation site.
During installation and before operating the keyboard, observe the information
on environmental conditions in the section entitled “Product Specifications".
