Introduction of Function Buttons That Can be Used After Entering
Windows
This product comes with 13 different function buttons that can be used after entering
Windows. To enable you to access your favorite applications quickly, some of these 13
function buttons even offer additional functions. You, the user, can define functions for
four of them, setting them to suit your individual needs and preferences.
The four directions on the Direction Ball (4 separate functions) together with the Enter
function count as 5 function buttons.
Each button has a built-in primary function. However, some buttons can also have another
function at the same time. These extra functions are called secondary functions. Of the
13 buttons, you may assign your personal secondary functions to four.
When you start to operate your computer, you should understand the following two
types of button functions:
1. primary functions
Pre-set system functions. There is no way for you to reset these. The icon to the side
of the actual button represents the primary function.
2. secondary functions
Additional functions that are accessed by pressing the [Fn] button: some are user-
programmable and some have already been assigned.
When the Windows desktop icon appears on the taskbar in the lower right-hand
corner of your screen, both kinds of functions mentioned above have been assigned
successfully and can be used. The different primary and secondary functions can help you
when you are using the Tablet PC and improve your work performance.
