Using the OmniBook Keyboard Warning Improper use of keyboards and other input devices has been associated with ergonomic injury. For information about reducing your risk, see the “Working in Comfort” instructions provided in the online OmniBook Library and in Windows Help. They are also available at our website, http://www.hp.com/mcd/ergo The OmniBook keyboard has several special features: • Function Keys Labeled F1 through F12, these keys provide shortcut key sequences. • The Fn Key This is a shift key (like SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT), providing access to those functions labeled in light gray on the keyboard. Press and hold Fn while pressing the desired function key.
For instance, pressing Fn+F1 decreases the brightness of the display. • Windows 95 Keys There are three Windows 95 keys by the spacebar. Two of them bring up the Start menu, and the one with the icon of a menu brings up the Properties menu (equivalent to pressing the right mouse button while pointing at an object on the Windows desktop). • Embedded Keypad When the keypad is active and Num Lock is on, keys change to the numeric or arithmetic designations printed in gray on the front facets of those keys. See “To type numbers on the built-in keypad.” 15
