9.2.1 Safety
NOTICE
Maloperation
If you activate several keys simultaneously, a malfunction on the device cannot be
excluded. Activate function keys and softkeys only in sequence!
Malfunctions of the user software
For security reasons, always use "Security features" of the KeyTools. If you deactivate it
nevertheless, serious malfunctions of the user software may occur when the additional
function keys and softkeys F13 to S16 are used or if own key code tables are used.
Risk of damage
Activating a key using a hard or pointed object, for example a screwdriver, reduces the life
of the key or can damage it.
9.2.2 Overview
The number of keys, their labeling and function is the same on all key panels. The various
panel types differ in the arrangement of the keys and in the size and type of the display.
