Using the Rapid Access III keyboard
The Rapid Access keyboard features special buttons for your convenience.
The buttons provide shortcuts on the keyboard to start a program, open a file,
or perform a specific function. With these keys, you can go directly to a file,
program, or Internet address by pressing a button instead of having to click an
icon, search for the program in the Start menu, or type an Internet address in
your browser.
Some of the Rapid Access Buttons are preset to support important multimedia
functions on your computer (Mute, Volume, and CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
controls); these cannot be changed.
There are eight color-coded Rapid Access buttons positioned across the top of
the keyboard. Some of these buttons are permanently set to start certain
programs on your computer. The preset functions are printed on the label
above the buttons. Three of the buttons, EMail, Access IBM Web, and Standby,
are permanently programmed. Depending on the preloaded operating system
loaded in your computer, three of the remaining five buttons might be preset.
You can customize the other buttons to start any program or file you want. For
example, if you enjoy playing Solitaire, you can customize a Rapid Access
button to open the Solitaire program.
The two USB connectors on the Rapid Access III keyboard are designed for
low-powered USB devices, such as a mouse or gamepad, only. USB devices
that require more power, such as speakers or an unpowered USB hub, should
be connected to one of the USB connectors on the computer.
