down the Progrm key and tapping F9 , the lights will begin flashing. Tap one of
the function keys (F1 through F12, where F1 is the slowest and F12 is the fastest)
to set the keyboard repeat rate. On an Essential keyboard, this process must be
repeated each time the computer is re-booted.
Resetting keyboard memory (Classic, Professional models)
If the keyboard behaves strangely or you just want to re-create the factory settings,
the first thing to try is a memory reset. If you have the Professional model, be sure
the memory locking switch (see below) is to the right (unlocked). Two different
memory reset procedures are available:
Memory reset, Option One ( Ctrl + F10)
This procedure will erase all remapping and macros, but will not change macro
memory settings or switch Dvorak back to QWERTY. Press and hold the
Progrm
key, then add one of the Ctrl keys, and finally add the F10 function key so that all
three keys are depressed. The lights on the keyboard should begin flashing.
Release the keys and when the flashing stops in several seconds, the keyboard’s
memory has been reset.
Memory reset, Option Two ( F7 on power on)
This procedure is more aggressive than Option One and will completely reset the
memory back to factory settings (24 macros, QWERTY layout). Hold down the
F7 key before turning on the power to your computer. Start your computer and
after a few seconds, release F7 . A successful reset is indicated if the keyboard’s
lights flash for several seconds after releasing F7 .
Resetting and changing keyboard “macro memory” mode ( Ctrl +
F2, F3, or F4)
The factory settings support up to 24 macros before the macro memory becomes
full. However, the memory mode can be changed to support 36 or 48 smaller
macros. In doing so, all previous settings are erased. The maximum macro size
with different settings is shown in the table below.
Macro size (approximate number of characters per macro)
