ASSIST MODE
The ASSIST MODE accommodates those who cannot press two (or more) keys
simultaneously. ASSIST MODE works with and enhances the Windows "Sticky Key"
Accessibility Option. When not in ASSIST MODE, the function keys are produced by
pressing simultaneously the F key and a number key. (F+1 produces the F1 function, etc.)
Assist Mode enables you to press the F key and have it remain active until you press
another key. In ASSIST MODE, the F key becomes a "Sticky Key".
Examples of using ASSIST MODE:
• To obtain an F1 in ASSIST MODE, press and release the F key, then press and release
the 1 key.
• To obtain an "Alt-F4" in ASSIST MODE, press and release the Alt key, then press
and release the F key, then press and release the 4 key. The Windows "Sticky Keys"
Accessibility Option must be turned ON for this example.
To enter ASSIST MODE press the CAPS LOCK key three times in a row. To exit ASSIST
MODE and return the keyboard to normal operation, again press the CAPS LOCK three
times in a row. Note that while in ASSIST MODE it is necessary to press the F key twice to
send an F to the computer.
