feature.This feature provides for some of the less commonly
used keys, such as Home, End, etc. to be available as secondary
keys.
The legends for the secondary key functions are printed in

secondary key functions and the keys they are on.

FUNCTION KEYS: F1-F15
The Trackboard provides fifteen user-definable function keys.
Windows-style operating system software utilizes F1 as Help,
F2 to rename an item, F3 to find files or folders and ALT + F4
to quit a program. F13 is assigned to Print Screen. Microsoft
Excel assigns the F14 key to toggle the Scroll Lock function.
F15 is assigned Pause.
Some software has preprogrammed functions assigned to
these F-keys, such as MicrosoftWord,Word Perfect and Nisus.
Please consult your manuals to determine if and how this
feature is implemented in your software.
To get maximum utilization from your function keys, third-
party macro or shortcut software programs such as Keyboard
Express or Macro Express, can be used.This type of software
will allow you to design shortcuts which instantly execute
multistep tasks, reduce complex commands and program
functions to a single keystroke.
USING COLORKEY™
AND REPLACING KEYTOPS
TrackBoard comes with the Alt,Win, Control, and the Cursor
keys in individual colors — to make them easily recognizable.
However, you have the opportunity to further customize
yourTrackBoard by adjusting which keys will be on the keyboard
in either their individual colors or in the standard platinum
color of the rest of the keyboard.
Changing keytops is a quick and simple process.
1.Turn off your computer and disconnect the cable from the
TrackBoard to the computer.
2. Place the legs of the keytop puller on the sides of the key
top you wish to replace. Push down gently to seat the puller.
Then, while you hold down the keyboard with one hand, gently
but firmly pull up on the ring part of the puller until the key
top comes off.
3. Put the replacement key top onto the keyswitch and press
firmly with your finger until it seats.
