and the cursor flashes in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
During this time, press the esc button to open the Setup utility.
For information about the Setup utility, refer on this CD to the
Software Guide, “Setup, Diagnostic and Support Utilities”

Esc Key Function
When the tablet PC is on, press the esc button to enter the esc
command as you would by pressing the

keyboard. The esc button can be used with or without the
on-screen keyboard or an optional keyboard.
The function of the esc command varies among applications. Esc
is usually used to exit a mode or routine or to cancel a function.
The esc button can be combined with keystrokes on the
on-screen keyboard or an optional keyboard. For example, press
the
ctrl
key on either keyboard, then the esc button, to display the
Windows Start menu.
