The keyboard keys are backlit with LEDs. The backlight is manually controlled using the 2

Control Keys
The VMT keyboard has several control keys. Because of the construction of the Thor VX8 and the Microsoft Windows
operating system, many of the Control Keys are not used on the Thor VX8.
The 2
nd
functions of the F4 and F5 keys are not used as the display brightness is adjusted via the buttons on the Thor VX8.
The 2
nd
functions of the F6 and F7 keys are not used as the Thor VX8 has TFT LCD screen with no provision for contrast
adjustments.
The 2
nd
functions of the F8 and F9 keys are not used as the sound volume on the Thor VX8 is controlled with the Sound icon in
the Microsoft Windows System Tray.
The F10 key is used to toggle the backlight as part of the keypress sequence 2
nd
+ CTRL + F10 . This key sequence
immediately toggles the status of the keyboard backlight. Pressing 2
nd
+ F10 has no effect on the keyboard backlight.
