A Plug-In/Wireless Keyboard - Pace DSL4000 User Manual

A plug-in/wireless keyboard

You can use a PS/2 keyboard (not supplied) to control your set-top box through a cable, or by
means of a wireless (infra-red) transmitter. See 'Optional equipment' on page 28.
A PS/2 keyboard layout is very similar to the 'QWERTY' layout of the on-screen keyboard (see
page 17). The main differences on a PS/2 keyboard layout are as follows:
•
There is an additional row of keys ('Esc' and function keys 'F1' to 'F12') along the
top.
•
There are additional keys such as 'Ctrl', 'Alt', 'Home' and 'End' which, when you
press them (sometimes together with other keys), can perform certain tasks.
•
There are additional punctuation symbols you can use, but please note that the
positions of many of the symbols may not be the same as on the on-screen
keyboard (see page 17).
•
The positions of the arrow keys are different.
•
The positions of the number keys ('0' to '9') are different.
•
There is a 'Caps lock' key which lets you type CAPITAL LETTERS without holding
down the 'Shift' key all the time.
When you use a PS/2 keyboard, there are many 'keyboard shortcuts' which perform certain
actions, in addition to those available when you use your remote control (see page 22).
