programmed. If the “hot key” is pressed for the second time or the “Esc” key is pressed prior to the press of the key on the programmable keyboard, this mode will be aborted immediately. The user should not enter the “hot key programming” mode when the programmable keyboard is already fully loaded (no more free memory for further programming) by the key contents previously programmed.

c.Input the content to be program m ed

Once the programmable keyboard enters the “hot key programming” mode with the key to be programmed identified, what the user types on the standard PC or PS-2 keyboard will be taken for the content to be programmed into that key of the programmable keyboard till the user exits the “hot key programming” mode.

The legal input in this mode includes all alphabetical letters (including both upper and lower cases), numerical digits (applicable only for keys at the area above the alphabetical keys and excluding those on the numerical keypad), symbols (such as `!”#$ and excluding those arithmetic signs in the numerical keypad) and the “Enter” key. The “Shift” key, the “Caps lock” key and the “Back space” key are also accepted in this mode to serve an editing purpose (for example, pressing “Back space” will erase the last character of the input instead of being treated as a character for input). Pressing the “Esc” key in this mode will abort the “hot key programming” mode immediately. All the rest keys (such as the “Ctrl”, “Alt”, “Home”, any function key or arrow key or any key in the numerical keypad) on the standard PC or PS-2 keyboard are illegal inputs in this mode. The maximum number of key presses acceptable to any key by “hot key programming” is 32.

All the input from the standard PC or PS-2 keyboard in this mode will also be sent to the host computer.
