FEATURES

MULTIMEDIA KEYS

The Game Pad provides a full set of multimedia control keys, including volume control (+, -,
and mute), play/pause, stop, back track, and next track. The keys 'play/pause, stop, back track
and next track' are designed to work with Microsoft® Windows® Media Player version 6.4 or
higher. The volume control and mute buttons work on the main Windows controls.

LED LIGHT INDICATORS

The Game Pad has two LEDs to support some of its unique functions. 'Enabled' LED and
'Action' LED.

'ENABLED' LED

The 'Enabled' LED light indicates that the currently chosen keyboard layout (Mod file), used by
the Z Engine Software, matches the game active on screen. This indicates that the mapping
shown will match the game's default keyboard game setting.

The 'Enabled' LED light will be illuminated when playing a game using a pre-defined Game
Pad Mod for that game. This indicates that the mapping of the keys in the gaming section has
been changed from the default to correspond with the current chosen game.

NOTE: When the 'Enabled' LED is OFF, it does NOT indicate a technical problem.

'ACTION' LED

The 'Action' LED indicator is reserved for future functionality that will become available via
software updates.

KEYBOARD HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The Game Pad comes equipped with extendible legs. The legs can be raised or lowered
depending on preference.
