“Sticky” Keys
The integrated keyboard uses a “Sticky Key” feature for the Shift 
and Blue Fn keys (known as “key modifiers”). This means that 
when you enter a number or symbol requiring a combination of 
keys to be pressed, the key modifier will stay engaged until you 
press the second key. It is not necessary to press both keys at the 
same time.
Special Keys
Note: To type a backslash (\) on the Thumb keyboard, first press 
the Blue Fn Key P to create a forward slash (/), then the 
Symbol/Space Bar key to modify it as necessary. Refer to the 
following “Accent Characters” section for more information on 
modifying characters.
Accent Characters 
To type any of the accent characters, press the letter you require 
to be accented, then press the Blue Fn Key and the 
Symbol/Space bar. 
Continue pressing the Blue Fn Key and the 
Space bar until you reach the desired special character. For 
example, if you press a, then the Blue Key and the 
Symbol/Space Bar, the a will result in 
à.
