5 Using the Keyboard and Mouse

5.1 Using the Keyboard

Besides the usual keys, this keyboard also has extra-dedicated keys,
which provide the following ACPI, multimedia and Internet functionality:

$ ACPI Keys:

Your keyboard has the power management keys that are Power off,
Sleep, and Wake up three keys. They are also can be called ACPI
(Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) keys.

As these ACPI keys are performed not completely under Windows NT
4.0, Windows 95 and Windows 98; the KeyMaestro driver provides an
option to enable the ACPI keys. When the option is enabled, the driver
will take Windows' place to process these keys.

Note: For detailed information, please read the online help by right
clicking the mouse on the KeyMaestro Keyboard icon

in the Windows

task bar and selecting Help.

Power Off

Closes the operating system and
powers down the system.

P.S: Although this key is a standard key
under Windows 98, Windows 98
processes it as a Sleep key.

Sleep

Puts your system to sleep
(power-saving) mode. Any key will wake
up your system and return to the
previous working status.

P.S: Windows NT 4.0 does not support
Sleep function. This key will be
processed as Power Off by KeyMaestro
driver if the option is enabled.

Wake Up

Wakes up your system and returns to
the previous working status.
