Buttons
To help you perform handheld tasks, the keyboard is color coded. For
example, by using the yellow function button in conjunction with
keys that are marked in yellow, you can navigate around a screen.
Buttons with white num
bers or symbols are single-entry keys. To enter
the number, simply press the button with the corresponding number or
letter.
Function Button
Because the Nomad automatically disables inappropriate buttons, the
type of task that you can perform from the keyboard depends upon the
type of menu that is displayed.
On the numeric keypad, the yellow function button (clicky key
sounds) accesses the tasks in yellow, including the navigation arrows.
Several settings can be changed u
nder Keyboard Options.
Auto release: Press and release to access a yellow task for one
use.
It then goes back to the original key tasks.
Manual release: This is the default. Press
to toggle it on and off.
Yellow tasks remain active until the function key is pressed again.
Disabled: must be held down while pressing any other key to
access the yellow task.
Play Sticky Key Sounds: T
o disable clicky key soun
ds, remove the
check in the box.
