Toshiba Satellite Pro 6000 Series - Manual (Page 70)

70 Getting Started
Using a mouse
Making your external keyboard emulate the Fn key
An external keyboard does not have the Fn key contained on the
Satellite Pro
®
6100 Series computer’s built-in keyboard. If you use
the computer’s hot keys or have set up key combinations in
Fn-esse
®
, you’ll probably miss these features when using an
external keyboard. Don’t worry: you can use a key combination on
the external keyboard to emulate the
Fn key. You can set up this
key combination through the Windows Control Panel Toshiba
HWSetup icon. For more information about Hardware Setup, see
“Toshiba Hardware Settings” on page 174 .
Using a mouse
You may want to use a mouse instead of the computer’s built-in
pointing device, the AccuPoint II. You can use a serial mouse or a
PS/2
®
-compatible mouse.
To use a PS/2-compatible mouse with the AccuPoint II, you must
follow the configuration steps below; otherwise, the PS/2 mouse
will disable the AccuPoint II.
NOTE: After logging on to your system, the mouse cursor
may move to the upper-right side of the screen. If this
occurs, push the
ESC or Windows key to return it to its
original position.
Setting up a PS/2 mouse with the AccuPoint II
When you connect a PS/2-compatible mouse to the PS/2 port, you
may use the mouse, the AccuPoint II, or both.
CAUTION: When connecting any PS/2 device, turn off your
computer to prevent any possible hardware damage.
