1 Introduction to Shuttle Devices
Contour Shuttle devices have been designed to enhance the productivity of multimedia content
creators, but they also increase productivity in many other types of applications, including:
• graphics and photo editing
• word processing
• spreadsheet manipulation
• internet operations
• medical imaging
• any application that uses key commands
Contour Shuttle devices consist of two (2) components: the ergonomically designed device itself
and the software that allows you to manage it.
All Contour Shuttle devices have a Jog wheel and a Shuttle ring that are programmable.
The ShuttleXpress has five (5) programmable buttons, the ShuttlePRO has thirteen (13)
programmable buttons, and the ShuttlePRO 2 has fifteen (15). The two top rows of buttons on
the ShuttlePRO series have removable caps so the included labels can be inserted for quick
reference as to which functions each button is programmed to perform.
Buttons, Jog wheel and Shuttle ring will be referred to as Shuttle components.

The Shuttle device software allows you to manage a specific configuration of your Shuttle
device for every application you have on your computer.
The software will automatically select the appropriate configuration according to the current
active application.
The installation package provides pre-installed settings (factory settings) for many common
applications; you can modify these settings at anytime and/or create new settings for other
applications, through the Shuttle device Control Panel.
1.1 Installing Shuttle Device Software
It is recommended to install the software before plugging your Shuttle device into any
available USB port.
Shuttle devices are “plug and play”: there is no need to shutdown and restart your computer
when you plug or unplug the device from a USB port.

System Requirements
• System running Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000 or XP.
• Available USB port. (A direct USB port connection is desirable, but a hub connection will
also work. Contour recommends using powered hubs and against using conversion
devices, such as USB adapters.)
• 10 Mbyte of hard disk space for the Shuttle device driver installation.
Installation Procedure
Notes:
1) It is recommended that you close all other applications that may be running on your
system and that you disable any virus protection software until after the installation is
complete.
2) If you have any previous Shuttle devices driver installed on your system, please refer to
paragraph 6 (Updating or Uninstalling your Shuttle device Software) before proceeding.
3) For Windows 2000 and XP users: installing the driver requires system-administrator
security privileges.
Step 1.
Step 2.
Locate and double-click the Contour Shuttle device driver installer.
A dialog box will prompt you through the installation process. Once installation is
complete you should receive a message stating, “Contour Shuttle Device Driver has
been successfully installed. Press the Finish button to exit Setup program.”

2 Shuttle Device Control Panel
The Shuttle Device Control Panel is the component of the software that allows you to manage
your Shuttle device by defining and/or modifying application settings.
Application settings are the individual sets of actions associated to the Shuttle components for a
pre-determined application. Stated differently, the Control Panel manages application settings.
Changes performed on the application settings are enabled as soon as you click on the Apply or
OK button in the Control Panel.
The Control Panel does not need to be open when you use the Shuttle device.
The software automatically detects the program you are using and automatically switches to
the correct application settings associated with the application.
2.1 Control Panel Overview
The Shuttle device Control Panel provides a specific properties page for each type of Contour
Shuttle device. The page related to your Shuttle device will be enabled as soon as you plug the
device into your computer for the first time and will remain even after unplugging the device.
