#Maintain a proper keying posture and use a light touch to press the keys.

numbness, or tingling of arms, wrists, or hands), consult your health care
professional.

READ ME FIRST
Important information for those who don’t normally
read manuals — and for those who do!
Congratulations on buying a quality product which will significantly improve
your computer comfort and productivity. Please read the entire manual before
installing or using your new keyboard. However, if you can’t do that right now,
at least read this page to learn some important things!

Health and Safety Warning
We have provided important information on the previous page and in the
Appendix concerning the safe use of this and other computer input devices.
Please read it!
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.
Ergonomic Setup
You can use your adjustable keyboard just as it comes out the box, but you are
missing out on the most important features! It is easy to adjust the keyboard’s
front split and “tenting” settings for optimal comfort, but the chapter on
“Customizing Your Keyboard” will make it a lot easier.
Palm supports
Most people like supporting the weight of their arms and shoulders on the built
in palm supports. Be sure to stabilize the palm supports with the adjustment
knobs each time that you adjust the keyboard’s tenting settings. Most users

really enjoy that added comfort provided by the enclosed self-adhesive pads. If
you decide you don’t want palm supports, see “Customizing Your Keyboard”
(page 13).

The Maxim adjustable keyboard positioned as traditional compact keyboard,
with palm supports installed (left) and palm supports removed (right).
When the front is opened to a user-preferred angle, the wrists are straightened
which relieves stress to the hands, arms, and shoulders, yet adaptation is
minimal.
INTRODUCTION
The Kinesis®Maxim™adjustable ergonomic keyboard sets a new standard in
workstation ergonomics, providing quick and reproducible adjustments which
result in sturdy and stable configurations. Extensive ergonomic studies have
resulted in an adjustable keyboard design which can be optimized by the user for
his or her individual requirements and preferences.
Ergonomic features
The Maxim™ergonomic keyboard can be individually adjusted to conform to the
natural positions of your arms and hands. Ergonomic features include:
#Padded, removable palm supports
#Adjustable keyboard front-to-back slope
#Adjustable hand/arm positioning (front opening angle)
#Adjustable lateral slope to relax forearm muscles
Layout of keyboard
The Maxim adjustable ergonomic keyboard has a layout very similar to that of a
traditional keyboard or a full size laptop computer. This provides virtually instant
adaptation for new or occasional users. The few differences in navigation and
editing key arrangement reduce the width of the keyboard. This improves the
positioning of the mouse for right-handed users of the Maxim keyboard,
compared to a traditional keyboard.
For intensive numeric data entry, most users will want a separate numeric keypad
which can be moved out of the way when using the mouse. Consider the Kinesis
AC210USB, which also serves as a USB hub and provides extra productivity
keys.
