ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Removing Pivot Tether
The pivot tether which comes installed on the
Freestyle keyboard must be completely removed
before attempting to install the Ascent accessories. To
remove the Pivot Tether (Figure 4), slide one or both
release buttons (Figure 5) away from the inside
edge(s) of the keying module.
Installing Ascent accessory modules
Note: Disconnect your keyboard from the computer or shut down your computer before proceeding with
installation.
The tenting modules are interchangeable, but must be oriented correctly on the keying modules when they
are installed. The figures below show installing the left side module first.
To begin, flip the keyboard front-to-back on a flat, padded surface so that it is upside-down. Be sure to
position the keying modules so that the left module is still on your left after turning it upside down. Select
one tenting module and lay it flat and unfolded with its “KINESIS” label facing up, oriented as in Figure 6.
Then position its mounting plate over the left keying module so that the "KINESIS" label is showing and the
holes in the mounting plate align with the holes in the keyboard bottom (Figure 7). The slider will need to be
extended slightly during the mounting process. If the screw holes on the keyboard bottom line up with the
holes in the mounting plate, and the rectangular label on the adjacent tenting flange is visible, then the
orientation is correct.
Insert four mounting screws into the outer four holes (Figure 7) and use a Philips screwdriver to make them
gently snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. When both sides have been installed, your still-upside-down
Freestyle Ascent keyboard assembly should look like Figure 8.
