Chapter 3: Getting To Know The 8525/30 G2

Activating Modifier Keys

3.3.1.1
When a modifier key is pressed once, it is displayed in lowercase letters in the
taskbar at the bottom of the 8525 G2/8530 G2 screen. For example, if the [CTRL]
key is pressed,
is pressed, the modifier key becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar.
3.3.1.2
When a modifier key is pressed twice, it is 'locked' on. A 'locked' modifier key is
displayed in uppercase letters in the taskbar. For example, pressing the [BLUE] key
twice locks it on – it is displayed as BLUE KEY in the taskbar at the bottom of the
computer screen.
The locked modifier key will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock
or turn it off. Once a modifier key is unlocked (pressed a third time), the uppercase
representation at the bottom of the screen is no longer displayed.
Note: The locking function of modifier keys can be disabled so that pressing a
modifier key once will lock the key 'on'. If you disable the 'One Shot'
function of these keys, pressing a modifier key once will lock it 'on'.
Pressing the same key a second time will unlock or turn it 'off'. Refer to
"Keyboard One Shots" on page 89 for details.

3.3.2 The Keys

The [BLUE] And [ORANGE] Keys
The [BLUE] and [ORANGE] modifier keys provide access to additional symbols
and keys. These additional symbols and keys are colour coded in blue and orange
print above the keyboard keys.
Press the [BLUE] key to access functions or characters displayed in blue print on the
keyboard. Press the [ORANGE] key to access functions or characters displayed in
orange print on the keyboard.
The [SHIFT/CAPS] Key
The [SHIFT/CAPS] key is used to display uppercase alpha characters. Pressing
[BLUE][SHIFT] turns the [CAPS] key on so that all alpha characters are printed in
uppercase until the [BLUE][SHIFT] sequence is pressed again.
