ALT GR The ALT GR key, a special function key found on the 89-key international keyboard,
when pressed and held, allows you to use characters in the bottom right of a three
character key.
BACKSPACE The BACKSPACE key, sometimes represented on the keyboard as a left arrow, moves the
cursor one position to the left. The character to the left of the cursor is erased.
On the 89-key international keyboard the key to the right of the BACKSPACE key is also
designed to move the cursor one position to the left. The character to the left of the cursor
is erased. If other functions are designed for this key, the key will be printed with the
appropriate legend.
CAPS LOCK Pressing the CAPS LOCK key one time locks keys A through Z in the UPPER CASE
position. Pressing the CAPS LOCK key again returns the letters to lower case. While in

portion of the keyboard. For example, press SHIFT+8 to type an asterisk (*), even when
the CAPS LOCK key is activated.
The CAPS LOCK activity indicator is on when the keyboard is in CAPS LOCK mode.
