Resetting keyboard memory

If the keyboard behaves strangely or you just want to re-create the factory settings, the first thing to try is a memory reset. If you have the Advantage Pro model, be sure the memory locking switch (see drawing later in this chapter) is to the right (unlocked). “Instant Configuration” settings are not affected by resetting the keyboards “On-board Programmability” features. Two different memory reset procedures are available:

The Remapping process (Progrm + F12 )

Hold down the Program key and tap F12, then release both keys. The keyboard’s lights will begin flashing rapidly. To copy a key, first tap the “source” key whose action you want to copy somewhere else. The lights will begin flashing slowly. Now tap the key where you want the new action to appear. The lights will resume rapid flashing. To swap two keys, you can repeat this sequence for each key without exiting from remapping mode. When you are done making changes, exit with Program plus F12. The lights should immediately stop flashing.

Default layout always available when remapping

When you are in remapping mode, the default key layout is always active. Therefore you cannot “lose” a key action by remapping it. Any changes you make by remapping are only implemented when you exit remapping mode.

Creating a macro (Progrm + F11)

To create a macro, hold down the Program key and tap F11, then release both keys. The keyboard’s lights will begin flashing rapidly. First select a “trigger key” (the key or combination of keys that will initiate playback of the macro). The lights will begin flashing slowly. Now type the key or keys that will comprise the body of the macro. When you have finished, hold the Program key and tap F11. The lights should stop flashing on the first tap. If not, you have added F11 to the end of your macro and you should reprogram your macro.

Turning on and off the key click feature (Progrm + backslash \)

By default, the keyboard includes an audible key click for all keys, including the function keys. To turn off the key click, hold down Progrm and press the Backslash key (\) located just below the hyphen key). If you wish to turn on the key click again, simply repeat the process. Note: Most experienced Kinesis keyboard users find that leaving on the key click function makes it easier to use the function keys.
