Temporarily using normal keyboard (overlay on)

While using the overlay, you can temporarily access the normal keyboard

without turning off the overlay:
1. Hold Fn and press any other key. All keys will operate as if the overlay

were off.

2. Type upper-case characters by holding Fn + Shift and pressing a

character key.

3. Release Fn to continue using the overlay.

operation. But, you can generate these characters using their ASCII codes.
With the overlay on:
1. Hold down Alt.
2. Using the overlay keys, type the ASCII code.
3. Release Alt, and the ASCII character appears on the display screen.
With the overlay off:
1. Hold down Alt + Fn.
2. Using the overlay keys, type the ASCII code.
3. Release Alt + Fn, and the ASCII character appears on the display

screen.
