Touch Cover
Touch Cover is more than a protective cover for your Surface. It's also a uniquely designed keyboard. When you're
typing on Touch Cover, you can rest your hands on the Touch Cover keys. Touch Cover only detects key presses
when you strike a key. Type on Touch Cover just as you would type on any other keyboard.
By default, a sound plays when you strike a key on the Touch Cover. This way you know when your touch is
recognized as a key press. To turn off the sound that plays when you type:
1. Open the Settings charm, tap or click
2. Tap or click General.
3. Scroll to Touch Keyboard. Find Play key sounds as I type and move the slider to Off.
Function keys
If you want to use a function key (F1-F12), use the Fn key in combination with a key from the top row of Touch
Cover. For example, for F1, press Fn + Mute.
For this key Type this
F1 Fn + Mute

F5 Fn + Search
F6 Fn + Connect
F7 Fn + Devices

To type text when the cover is folded back, use the on-
screen keyboard. Tap in a text field or other area where you
can type and the on-screen keyboard appears. For more
info, see the Use the on-screen keyboard
guide.
When you close Touch Cover, the screen turns off. The
cover helps protect the touchscreen while you're in transit.
When you open the cover, Surface wakes up.
