Function Keys
The function keys of your Contoured keyboard comprise two elevated, tilted rows
of soft, tactile keys which can be activated with minimal hand and arm movement:
Esc and F1 through F8 (on left) and F9 through Progrm (on right). Most of these
keys perform their traditional actions unless combined with the Progrm key
Special actions for functions keys
Repeat, Disable Macro, Macro, and Remap. These actions only operate if the
Progrm key is first pressed and held. Repeat allows settings faster or slower repeat
rates when a key is held down. Disable macro inactivates but does not
permanently erase any macros stored in the keyboard. Macro and Remap are used
in combination with the Progrm key to program the keyboard. For details, see
