Keyboard Variants

EP10 has three standard variants for the keyboard layout: numeric, QWERTY and AZERTY.
Numeric Keyboard
This numeric keyboard has the number keys arranged telephone-style, with the numbers 1,2,3 along the top
row. The alphabetic characters are also arranged telephone-style, in groups of 3 or 4 [FN]-shifted charac-
ters on the number keys.
QWERTY Keyboard
This alphabetic keyboard has the alpha keys arranged in standard QWERTY layout. The number keys are ac-
cessed as [FN]-shifted characters on the left-middle side of the keyboard, and are arranged tele-
phonic-style, with the numbers 1,2,3 along the top row (on the E, R, and T keys, respectively).
AZERTY Keyboard
This alphabetic keyboard has the alpha keys arranged in the AZERTY layout favoured by many
French-speaking parts of Europe. It is identical to the QWERTY keyboard in all respects except that the loca-
tions of the Q and W keys are interchanged with the A and Z keys, respectively.
