Using Your Apple Pro Keyboard and Apple Pro Mouse
Your Apple Pro Keyboard comes with function keys preset for common tasks. Use the Media
Eject key to eject optical disks. Press the Volume Up or Volume Down keys to adjust the
sound level, or press the Mute key to turn sound off. You can also adjust an Apple display’s
level of brightness with the Brightness Up and Brightness Down keys.
Note: If you’re using a non-Apple keyboard with your computer, use the F12 key to eject
optical disks.
Customizing Function Keys (Mac OS 9)
In Mac OS 9, you can set unassigned function keys (F7–F12) on your Apple Pro Keyboard to
open applications such as your Web browser, email program, or frequently used documents.
Once applications are open, you can use the customized function keys to switch quickly
between them.
The first time you press an unassigned function key, a dialog box appears that lets you assign
any of the function keys to an application or document. You can change the application
assigned to a function key using the Keyboard control panel.
Note: You can’t customize function keys in Mac OS X.
