There are two scan codes assigned to each key, one for when the key is depressed (MAKE
code) and the other for when the key is released (BREAK code). Generally, all keys are
programmed to output both MAKE and BREAK codes. The SHIFT, CONTROL and ALTERNATE
keys are always programmed to output MAKE and BREAK codes so that the system can tell if the
key is being held down. Refer to Appendix D for a list of the scan codes associated with the

MAKE/BREAK functions in the remote programming mode.
