The RT4 has programmable keys, a power/suspend key, windows key, enter
key, and a navigation pad.
The keys are sealed and have backlight illumination.
The p1, p2, and p3 keys can be configured to launch applications or
functions.
To assign the programmable keys, open the Start menu and select Keypad
(located at the bottom of the Start menu screen in a shortcut tile). The
Keypad Buttons and Backlight panel appears. The programmable keys and
their current assignments are shown. Select your preferred function per

Keypad Backlight Brightness
To adjust the keypad backlight brightness, go to the Start menu and select
Keypad. At the bottom of the Keypad Buttons and Backlight panel is a slider
that adjusts the keypad backlight brightness. You can make the backlight
brighter by moving the slider to the right or turn it down by moving the
slider to the left. Dimming the keypad backlight extends battery life when
the RT4 is in use.
