symbols, including those of the 10-Key pad.

NAS mode is the mode in which you type the numbers zero through
nine, and the symbols that are found at the top row of a standard
flat keyboard: such as the exclamation point (!), dollar sign ($) and
ampersand (&).
NAS mode is also the mode from which you access the 10-Key pad.
You use the
10 K&P ON and 10 K&P OFF keys on the east and
west of the right pinky finger to switch between NAS mode and the
10-Key pad. See the next section for more details on the 10-Key
pad.

pressure, well key). The NAS Lock light under the right thumb goes
on. To exit NAS mode activate either DA key (RT or LT thumb up).
To type just a few characters, instead of locking into NAS mode, you
can shift into NAS mode. To shift, press NAS (
right thumb , light
pressure, well key). Continue to hold this key with light pressure
until you finish typing the NAS mode characters.
If you have activated the 10-Key pad and then switch to Normal or
Mouse Function mode, when you return to NAS mode, the 10-Key
pad is automatically switched on. To access the keys available in
NAS mode, you must turn off the 10-Key pad.
The orange right hand NAS light is on when in NAS mode.
