The keyboard is divided into four sections:

vFunction keys are multipurpose keys and their function is controlled by the operating system.

vTypewriter keys are similar to a standard typewriter. Their function is controlled by the software.

vControl keys move the cursor on the screen and do programmed control functions. The movement and functions depend upon the application used.

vNumeric keypad is arranged like a calculator to help when typing numbers.

On all of the keyboards, you can adjust the tilt position for typing comfort. To tilt the keyboard, pull out on the keyboard legs. The legs snap into position. To decrease the tilt of the keyboard, rotate the keyboard legs until they snap into the bottom of the keyboard case.

The keyboard cable plugs into the keyboard connector at the rear of the system unit.
