5.4.4 26-Key Keyboard: Accessing Alpha Keys
On numeric 26-key keyboards, numeric keys are directly accessible, and all alpha characters
are printed on the unit plastic in orange characters above the numeric keys. An indicator in

key is locked ‘on’ when pressed once. However, depending on how your unit is set
up in the ‘One Shots’ tab, you may find that you need to press the [FN/ORANGE]
key twice to lock it ‘on’. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 90
for details.
