Problem

Possible Cause - Solution

Unwelcome numbers
appear when typing.

If the LED 

 is lit, then Num Lock is turned ON.

 Check that Padlock mode is not enabled

(see 

“LED Indicators” on page 1 - 6

).

Other Keyboards

If your keyboard is damaged or you just want to make a change, you can use any standard USB keyboard. The
system will detect and enable it automatically. However special functions/hot keys unique to the system’s regular
keyboard may not work.
