Chapter 3: The Keyboard

Features

3.1 Features

The NETBOOK PRO has a compact layout keyboard with 58 full-size keys, and 78- key functionality. It is available in a number of languages (see “International Key- boards” on page 43). Specialized keys include the <Esc/On/Off> key, a 15-key numeric keypad, and a function lock key <Fn>.

The keyboard character repeat function can be adjusted by going to the Keyboard Properties menu in Start/Settings/Control Panel/Keyboard. Set the required options under the Repeat tab, and press OK.

Note: To clean the keyboard, spray a mild all-purpose cleaner onto a cloth and gently wipe the surface.

3.2 Accessing The Numeric Keypad Functions

The embedded numeric keypad consists of 15 keys. The numeric keypad and related functions are accessed by pressing the <Shift>+<Alt> keys. This key combination simulates the “Num Lock” key, and acts as a toggle switch for turning the numeric keypad on and off.

Note: By first activating the Num Lock capability, you can also generate char- acters using their ASCII values by pressing the <Alt> key plus the decimal value of the ASCII code.
