Chapter 4 Defining the Tablet PC Function Keys

Introducing PC Button Functions

You have access to thirteen buttons all with different functions to make your computing life
easier than ever. Some of these buttons even have secondary functions to save you the time
you would take to look for them. You can even define four of these thirteen buttons to do
additional tasks to meet your special needs. Working with the convenience of paper and
digital pen together with the power of a PC is within your reach. Just read on!

* Note!
The directional control and enter keys have a total count of five buttons.

Each button has a primary function, meaning a default function. Some buttons have an
additional function. The additional function is called secondary function. Of the total
thirteen buttons, you can assign your own secondary function to four of them.

Before you start operating the PC, you need to understand the two types of functions.
One function type is primary function, also the default function, where you cannot modify its
action. Instinctively, when you see the physical buttons, their icons represent their primary
functions.

The other type is the secondary function. Within the secondary functions, you need to
distinguish between user programmable keys and the already assigned secondary function
keys.

Both types of functions exist in the logon process and in the setting when desktop icons
appear on your screen. You must make the distinction between these two settings, because
there is a variance in task performance among primary and secondary functions depending on
the system setting.

How to Activate Secondary Button Functions?

You activate primary functions by pressing the buttons once. To launch the secondary

functions, you need to press the function Fn key first before pressing the button keys that
have secondary functions.

Button Functions in the Logon Process

What is the Logon Process? It occurs when you first turn on the computer, before the

desktop icons and the taskbar appear on the monitor. If you set password security, Login
screen appears during this process asking for you to sign in for the security check.

SHOW PASSWORD PICTURE

What kind of functions? We refer to the existing functions during the Logon process as
Logon Functions. In the Logon process, you can only access five primary functions and four
secondary functions. Many of the functions available when the desktop icons appear on the
monitor are not activated during the Logon process.

What are the Primary Functions? They are listed below along with a brief explanation for
each button. Remember you only need to press these buttons once to activate them. The
buttons are described in the clockwise order starting at the Escape key.

Button Icons Button Function Explanations

Escape Key cancels the current operation.

Enter Key is the same as an enter key on a keyboard.

Down Arrow Key . Despite its icon, this button functions as a Tab

key.
Up Arrow Key. Its real function is the same as a Tab key but in the

opposite direction.

performs the same task as Ctrl + Alt +Del.

What are the secondary functions? Activating secondary functions requires you to press
the function Fn key first and then press the appropriate button key.

Button Icons Button Function Explanations

Escape Key works as the backspace key.
Enter Key functions as the spacebar.
Up Arrow Key. As the icon indicates, it moves things upward.
Down Arrow Key functions as the down arrow key on a keyboard.

Button Functions When Desktop Icons Appear

When do these functions occur? When the Logon process ends, the appearing of the

desktop icons indicates the start of another set of functions differ from the ones described
above as Logon Functions.

What type of functions? Buttons during this stage have more functions, and we refer to
them as the Main Functions. Main Functions include both primary and secondary functions.

What are the primary functions? All buttons have primary functions, which are also
known as default functions. The buttons are described in the clockwise order starting from
the Power key.

You can also set the Power Button to put the PC in standby mode. See the section
“Putting the PC in Standby Mode” in Chapter 3.

* Note!

The direction control button automatically changes its functions as the screen orientation
rotates in four different views. For example, the arrow directions change when the
screen rotates from Primary Landscape to Secondary Landscape. The same applies to
when landscape views change to portrait views.

What are the secondary functions? All but three buttons either already have secondary
functions programmed in them or you can assign a secondary function to them. These three
keys below have only primary functions:

♦ Power Key
♦ Function Key
♦ Windows Security Key

screen. You have one method to configure the four user-programmable buttons. These
four buttons do not have secondary functions, only primary functions. By following the
method below, you can assign a secondary action to each of these four buttons.
