Operation Manual

Using the keyboard
The keyboard and mouse allow you to type select items, scroll and to perform the same functions as using
touch gestures. The keyboard also allows you to use action keys and hot keys to perform specific functions.
TIP: The Windows key
on the keyboard allows you to quickly return to the Start screen from an open
app or the Windows desktop. Pressing the Windows key again will return you to the previous screen.
