Using the Slideout Hardware Keyboard
Your device comes with a hardware QWERTY 
keyboard, which is similar to a standard keyboard on a 
computer. To use the keyboard, slide the screen panel 
to the right to reveal the keyboard. The screen panel 
will pop up at an angle for comfortable viewing.
In most applications, the screen orientation 
automatically switches to landscape mode when the 
keyboard is opened. Certain applications and Hubs, 
such as the Start screen, the main People Hub, and the 
applications list, will remain in portrait mode.

Press once to capitalize the next letter you 
select. 
Press and hold to lock the key and type a 
series of uppercase letters (this works just like 
the Caps Lock key on your computer 
keyboard). Press it again to unlock the key. 
Important:
The screen angle is non-adjustable. Do not try to 
adjust the screen past its maximum angle. Doing 
so will damage the device.
