3.2.2.1 Activating Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is pressed, it is shown in the softkey bar at the bottom of the screen,
making it easier to determine whether a modifier key is active. For example, if the [CTRL]
key is pressed,
Ctrl
is displayed at the bottom of the unit screen. Once the next key is
pressed, the modifier key becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar.
3.2.2.2 Locking Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked’ on. A ‘locked’ modifier key is displayed
in underlined letters in the taskbar. For example, pressing the [FN] key twice locks it on—it
is displayed as an underlined blue ‘FN’ in the taskbar at the bottom of the computer screen.
The same is true of the [SYM] key, which is shown as an underlined orange ‘SYM’ in the
taskbar.
The locked modifier key will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock or turn it
off. Once a modifier key is unlocked, the underline representation at the bottom of the
screen is no longer displayed.

Note: The locking function of the modifier keys can be changed so that pressing a key
once
will lock the key ‘on’.
If you disable the ‘One Shot’ function of the key, pressing it once will lock the key
‘on’. Pressing the same key a second time will unlock or turn it ‘off’. Refer to “Key-
board One Shot Modes” on page 95 for details.
