Using the Keyboard

IMPORTANT: Please see the documentation that came with the keyboard for additional information about using the keyboard, customizing keyboard buttons, and using any special keyboard keys. You may need to install keyboard software and drivers to access all the special features and functions of the keyboard.

Your computer may include either a standard keyboard or a wireless keyboard. Using the keyboard is the primary way that you enter text and commands for the computer.

A standard keyboard connects to the keyboard connector in the back of the computer.

A wireless keyboard (select models only) uses a receiver/transmitter, instead of a connector cable, to communicate with the computer. A light on the receiver indicates receiver activity.
