•Press: Press the key momentarily and then release it. This method is used for most key operations.

•Press and hold: Press the key and hold it down for the length of time stated (for example, 3 seconds), and then release it.

When you press a dedicated key, one of the following happens:

ii.A pop-up menu is displayed, providing further options.
