Sticky Keys
To enable Sticky Keys behavior if it has been turned off, select Turn on Sticky Keys. The options
here are:
● Include Windows key as sticky key. Because the Windows key is used as a non-modifier
key to open the Windows Start menu, you can make it non-sticky by deselecting Include
Windows key as sticky key. The Windows key as a sticky key is disabled by default.
● Lock Modifier keys when pressed twice in a row. You can set a modifier key to be locked
down indefinitely by setting Lock Modifier keys when pressed twice in a row; when you
then press a modifier key twice, it locks down until you press the key a third time. This is
deselected by default.
● Play a sound when modifier keys are pressed. Plays a sound when sticky keys are locked
down or released. This is set by default.
● Display the Sticky Keys icon on the taskbar. Select this option to show the sticky keys icon
on the taskbar. This is set by default.
● If you need to use the Windows supplied Ease of Access sticky keys function, because you
need it for an external keyboard, you may want to disable the Built-in keypad’s sticky keys
feature for the Windows, Shift, Ctrl, and Alt keys because the two features conflict with
each other. In this case set Use Windows Sticky Keys for standard modifier keys (Shift,
Ctrl, Alt, and Windows). This is deselected by default.
Backlight
The built-in keypad may be equipped with a backlight that makes the keypad easier to use in dimly
lit areas. The backlight is activated when a key is pressed, stays on for a while, and then turns off to
conserve power. The backlight can be disabled and the brightness adjusted. The system ambient
light sensor can also be used to keep the backlight from turning on in well lit areas.
● The backlight is enabled by default.
● If you don't work in low light settings, you can disable the keypad backlight to save power.
Clear the Enable Keyboard backlight to completely disable the backlight.
● Set the Timeout value to determine how long the backlight stays on when no keys are being
pressed.
● Select Automatically disable the keyboard backlight in well lit areas to prevent the
backlight from turning on if you are in a well lit area. This is selected by default.
● Move the Set keyboard backlight brightness slider to control how bright the backlight is;
slide right for brighter, and left for dimmer. Brighter settings consume more power than
dimmer settings.
Status Icons
Use the Status Icons option to show or hide the Caps Lock/Num Lock icon on the taskbar. Show
Caps Lock & Num Lock status on the taskbar is selected by default.
SYM Key
The SYM Key option allows you to turn the SYM Key input method on or off. When enabled the SYM
Key input method allows you to easily enter certain accented characters and special symbols. See
Using SYM Key IME for details on its usage.
If SYM Key input method is not enabled, when you press the SYM key (Fn + spacebar), this SYM
Key settings page displays.
Note that enabling and disabling the SYM Key input method requires administrator privileges and
