Locking The Keyboard
You can lock either or both the keyboard and the touchscreen so that accidental key presses
are prevented. When the keyboard is locked, a padlock icon shows in the Taskbar.
To lock the keyboard or touchscreen, go to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Keyboard Prop-
erties>Lock Sequence and enable the options you need. When the keyboard is locked, a
padlock icon shows in the Taskbar.

Modifier Keys
The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [BLUE] and [ORANGE] keys are “modifier” keys. Pressing
a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. For example, on an 47-key key-
board, a left bracket is printed in orange print above the [U] key. Pressing the [ORANGE]
key, a modifier key, followed by the [U] key displays a left bracket rather than the letter U.
Figure 3.2 Ikôn Keyboard Without Phone Option
The [SHIFT], [CTRL] and [ALT] keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that
they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be
pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.
Note: Almost all keys can be reprogrammed to suit your requirements.
Note: Keep in mind that the [ALT] and [CTRL] keys are only available on numeric key-
pads that are not equipped with phone keys. You can, however, access the [CTRL]
key using the onscreen, soft keyboard.
