How to Install using the USB Connector:
First, shut down your computer.
How are you set up? Determine which applies to you:

Laptop with a Docking Station:
If you are using a laptop through a Docking Station, please be sure to connect the keyboard directly into an available USB port on the computer itself the first time. Once you have followed the instructions below, you can connect the keyboard through the Docking Station for use.

Multiple computers via KVM switch:
If you are connecting two or more computers through a KVM switch, be sure to install the keyboard onto each computer that will be used before connecting it to the KVM switch. A KVM switch will not allow the drivers to install automatically; therefore it is necessary to connect the keyboard directly into each computer for proper installation the first time. Be sure that your KVM switch is for USB devices, not PS/2.

Desktop or Laptop with limited USB input ports:
Determine the number of available USB ports on your computer. You may want to add a USB Hub or port expander to accommodate multiple devices like mice, printers, keyboards, numeric keypads, PDA's, etc.

Installation:
Remove the PS/2 adapter from the end of the keyboard cord (as equipped on GTN models) so that the USB input is exposed.

Connect the keyboard directly into a USB port on the computer, power up the computer and allow Windows to detect the device and install the drivers. Do not attempt to install via hub or switch, as the keyboard must be connected directly to the computer for correct driver installation. You may see a window that tells you the hardware is installed and ready for use when it is done.

If you are connecting a Goldtouch USB numeric keypad in conjunction with a Goldtouch keyboard, be sure to connect it via USB as described above. For correct operation, the numeric keypad must be plugged directly into the computer for installation, but can be connected through a hub once the drivers have been installed.

Do not attempt the plug the keyboard into one of the USB ports located on the sides of the USB keypad, as these ports are intended only for low power devices, like mice or USB storage drives. Doing so will cause the keyboard and keypad to malfunction.
