Regular Keys
The [ENTER/Power] Key
The [ENTER/Power] key is used to execute the usual Enter keyboard functions as well as to power the unit on and off (for details refer to “Switching Omnii On and Off” on page 15).
Note: 55-key and 66-key keyboards are equipped with a [Power] button. For these keyboards, the
[ENTER] key does not switch the unit on or off.
The [SHIFT] Key
The [SHIFT] key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and to provide access to other symbols and functions on the numeric keyboards. Press the [SHIFT] key to turn the shift state 'on' (it will be represented by an up arrow in the taskbar), then press another key to access the shifted function of that key.
Press the [SHIFT] key twice to lock the shift state on (the up arrow in the taskbar will be underlined). Press
[SHIFT] again to turn the shift state off.
To access CAPS LOCK mode, press [FN] + [SHIFT] . In this state, if you press a numeric key, the number is displayed rather than the normal shifted function of that key. Press [FN] + [SHIFT] again to turn the CAPS
LOCK mode off.
The Arrow Keys
The [Arrow] keys are located near the top of the keyboard, and are represented on the keyboard as triangles pointing in different directions. The [Arrow] keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow: up, down, left and right. The left arrow key should not be confused with the [BACKSPACE] key which is depicted as a left arrow. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next character you type will appear.
The [BACKSPACE/DEL] Key
The [BACKSPACE] key (represented on the keyboard as an arrow pointing left) moves the cursor one character to the left, erasing the previous key stroke.
The [DEL] key ([FN] +[BACKSPACE]) erases the character at the current cursor position.
The [CTRL] and [ALT] Key
The [CTRL] and [ALT] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application dependent.
Pressing either key twice locks it 'on' (it appears underlined on the Taskbar). Pressing the key once again unlocks it.
