Hotkey Setting Mode

Hotkey Setting Mode (HSM) is used to set up the switch configuration. All operations begin
with invoking HSM.

Invoking HSM

1. Press and hold the Num Lock key.
2. Press the minus key.
NOTE: If the minus key is not released within 0.5 second, hotkey invocation is canceled.
3. Release the Num Lock key.
Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended, and only hotkey compliant
keystrokes and mouse clicks described in this chapter can be input.
When HSM is active, the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate
that HSM is in effect. The LEDs stop flashing and revert to normal status upon exiting HSM.
At the conclusion of some hotkey operations, you automatically exit Hotkey mode. With
some operations, you must exit manually. To exit HSM manually, press the Esc key or the
Spacebar.
