ETTINGS
Instant configuration settings are used to rapidly configure the keyboard for different computer platforms and
for different common tasks. There are two types of settings:
• master settings (platform specific)
• group feature settings (multimedia and internet)
• individual settings
Settings are changed by pressing the “=” key in the number row (above the Tab key) on your Advantage
keyboard, then tapping a second key.
Master settings (platform specific)
Master “instant configuration” settings change a group of features to optimize for one of three platforms:
Macintosh, Windows PC, or non-Windows PC. The individual settings may also be changed one at a time
(see below). To change a setting, pressing and hold the “=” key in the number row (above the Tab key) on
your Advantage keyboard, then tap the appropriate second key.
Macintosh, = m v3.1[ ]
No individual feature settings are listed because this is the default configuration.
- Thumb key modifier keys are optimized for Macintosh
- “Keypad =” is the true Macintosh “Keypad equals” key action, different from “Number row =”
- Scroll lock performs Macintosh Power ( ) action
PC-Windows, = w v3.1[SL K H e ]
- Thumb key modifier keys are optimized for Windows
- Keypad = is the same as Number row =
- Scroll lock performs scroll lock action
- Keyboard stays awake when computer sleeps setting is active
- Fast mouse speed is set on
PC -Non Windows, = p v3.1[SL K H x e ]
- Thumb key modifier keys are optimized for PC (non-Windows)
- Keypad = is the same as number row =
- Scroll lock performs scroll lock
- Stay awake setting is active
- Fast mouse speed is set
Group Feature settings (Multimedia and Internet)
These settings activate special multimedia and internet actions for certain function keys. They are
standardized USB key actions, though they are not fully implemented in all operating systems. At the time of
this writing, Windows 2000 supports some and Windows XP supports most of these actions, while Apple
Computer has chosen not to support them except with its own keyboard brand.
