2 Basic setup and operation
l Display the Sticky Keys icon on the taskbar. Select this option to show the sticky keys
icon on the taskbar. This is set by default.
l If you need to use the Windows supplied Ease of Access sticky keys function, because
you need it for an external keyboard, you may want to disable the Built-in keypad’s
sticky keys feature for the Windows, Shift, Ctrl, and Alt keys because the two features
conflict with each other. In this case set Use Windows Sticky Keys for standard
modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, and Windows). This is deselcted by default.
Backlight
The built-in keypad may be equipped with a backlight that makes the keypad easier to use
in dimly lit areas. The backlight is activated when a key is pressed, stays on for a while, and
then turns off to conserve power. The backlight can be disabled and the brightness
adjusted. The system ambient light sensor can also be used to keep the backlight from
turning on in well lit areas.
NOTE – If the keypad does not have a backlight, you won't see the Backlight option.
l The backlight is enabled by default.
l If you don't work in low light settings, you can disable the keypad backlight to save
power. Clear the Enable Keyboard backlight to completely disable the backlight.
l Set the Timeout value to determine how long the backlight stays on when no keys are
being pressed.
l Select Automatically disable the keyboard backlight in well lit areas to prevent the
backlight from turning on if you are in a well lit area. This is selected by default.
l Move the Set keyboard backlight brightness slider to control how bright the backlight
is; slide right for brighter, and left for dimmer. Brighter settings consume more power
than dimmer settings.

Show Caps Lock &Num Lock status on the taskbar is selected by default.
