Introduction
The Freestyle V3
Accessory kit
(AC730-blk) pro-
vides a pair of 3-angle V-lifters™ that clip onto your Freestyle or Freestyle2 keyboard. Three levels of tenting*
(5, 10, or 15 degrees) can be selected. Each keying module can be adjusted independently and V-lifters are equally
effective whether the keying modules are splayed (using the pivot tether which came with your keyboard) or com-
pletely separated.
*Tenting is the elevation of the center portion of a split keyboard. By raising your thumbs, your forearm muscles
become relaxed, resulting in significantly improved comfort and blood flow.

The Freestyle V3 Accessory Kit includes a pair of 3-angle V-lifters which clip securely
to the underside of the keyboard.
Installing V3 V-lifters
Note: Disconnect your keyboard from the computer or shut down your computer before
installing V-lifters.
Pivot Tether: The pivot tether which comes installed on the Freestyle2 keyboard is fully
compatible with all V-lifters, so it does not need to be removed before installing your
V3 V-lifters. However, if you want to completely separate the two keying modules, the
pivot tether can be easily removed. See next page for details.
To install: Flip the keyboard front-to-back on a flat, padded surface, so that it is upside-down with the right keying
module to your right. Each V-lifter is labeled “Right” or “Left.” Note that when positioned on the correct side, the
long support leg of the V-lifter will point towards the array of five screw holes on the underside of the keyboard.
Insert the two end tabs of each V-lifter into the two rectangular holes on the bottom of the keying module. Lower
the other end against the underside of the keying module and squeeze the lip of the V-lifter to the front of the key-
board until they snap together.
If you don’t hear a snap, check
that the lip is centered on the
trapezoidal opening located on the
front edge of the keying module.
Repeat with the other side. When
both V-lifters are installed, flip the
keyboard gently into the upright
position, taking care not to twist
the cable linking the two keying
modules.
