Health Warning

Use of a keyboard or pointing device may be linked to serious injuries or disorders.

When using a computer, as with many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFES- SIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are not working at your computer. Symptoms such as these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, or other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, and other conditions.

While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general agreement that many factors may be linked to their occurrence, including: medical and physical conditions, stress and how one copes with it, overall health, and how a person positions and uses his or her body during work and other activities (including use of a keyboard or pointing device). Some studies suggest that the amount of time a person uses a keyboard may also be a factor. Some guidelines that may help you work more comfortably with your computer and possibly reduce your risk of experiencing an MSD can be found in the “Healthy Computing Guide” topic of the User’s Guide, provided with the software program on your CD-ROM. If you do not have the CD-ROM for this product, you can access the “Healthy Computing Guide” at http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/, or (in the United States only) call 1-800-360-7561 to request a CD-ROM at no charge. If you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related to MSDs, see a qualified health professional.

What the Keyboard Lights Mean

The keyboard lights indicate the status of the toggle keys, such as NUM LOCK or CAPS LOCK. For example, if NUM LOCK is on, the NUM LOCK light is on; if CAPS LOCK is off, the CAPS LOCK light is off. Certain keyboard models may use on-screen display (rather than a light) to indicate the status of the SCROLL LOCK toggle key.

Using the F LOCK Key (certain keyboard models only)

The F LOCK toggle key gives you more functionality by providing two command modes for the top row of keys. When F LOCK is off (F LOCK light off), the enhanced commands printed on the top of the keys are enabled. When F LOCK is on (F LOCK light on), the standard commands printed on the front of the keys are enabled.

Depending on your keyboard model, you may need to turn F LOCK on (F LOCK light on) to access the NUM LOCK toggle key, as well as other system key commands labeled on the front of the keys, such as INSERT, PRINT SCREEN, and SCROLL LOCK.
