THE KB 5150 KEYBOARD
The KB 5150 Keyboard is a plug compatible
replacement for the unit provided with
your IBM* Personal Computer. Using it is
exactly the same as described in the IBM
Personal Computer Guide To Operations
Handbook you received with your Personal
Computer. Install per instructions found
in the Handbook.
ADDED
LED STATUS INDICATORS
A frequent cause of operating errors is
inadvertant setting of the Numerical Lock
or Capitals Lock keys. To help reduce the
number of such errors, the KB 5150 adds
Status LEDls to these keys. You can now
tell at a glance which modes these keys
are in, greatly reducing chance entry of
false data or commands. We think you will
be pleased with the improvement.
1 - TAB legend replaces ARROW symbols.
Key Tronic, the world leader in keyboards,
has listened to market commentary on the
IBM design, and has chosen to include some
features not found on the original. These
selections enhance ease of operation, and
in no way alter the normal function or use
of the Personal Computer.
FEATURES
KEY RELOCATION
The KB 5150 design returns certain keys to
the standard locations
p
and replaces some
symbolic legends with conventional alpha
legends. Our surveys show that this style
offers greater user convenience, and also
reduces the problems created by the need
to relearn a keyboard for one application.
The diagram below shows the differences in
the two styles. Keep handy for reference.
2 - BACKSPACE legend replaces ARROW symbol.
3 - BACKSLASH and left SHIFT keys interchanged.
4 - Right SHIFT legend replaces ARROW symbol.
