2 Basic setup and operation
Note that enabling and disabling the SYM Key input method requires administrator
privileges and must be done for both 32 bit and 64 bit applications. Because of this
requirement you will be prompted for your approval twice and possibly prompted for
administrator credentials. Enter your password if necessary and tap Yes for both
instances.
Status icons in the taskbar
Because the keypad lack Caps lock (alpha keys) and Num lock (number pad) indicators, a
taskbar icon is provided that displays the Caps Lock and Num Lock states.
The icons for different Caps and Num lock states are :
l
Caps and Num unlocked. Lowercase alphabet letters are produced and the
number pad does the cursor movement functions.
l
Caps locked and Num unlocked. Uppercase alphabet letters are produced and
the number pad does the cursor movement functions.
l
Caps unlocked and Num locked. Lowercase alphabet letters are produced and
the number pad does number functions.
l
Caps and Num locked. Uppercase alphabet letters are produced and the number
pad does number functions.
NOTE – As on a standard PC keyboard, the Shift key can be used to temporarily invert the Caps and
Num lock states.
You can set these icons to show or not show in the taskbar.
Pinning keypad status icons to the Taskbar
Because the Sticky keys, Caps Lock/Num Lock, Touchscreen Disable, and Keypad Disable
icons show real time information about the state of the keypad, you may want to pin them
to the taskbar. If you don’t see both icons and they are enabled in the Built-in Keyboard
Settings utility you can find them by tapping on the ^ symbol at the left side of the taskbar
icons area.
To “pin” an icon to the taskbar, tap-hold on the icon in the popup window you want to pin,
then drag it to the taskbar.
To “unpin” icons, tap-hold on the icon in the taskbar and drag it to the popup window.
