Although devices are designed to charge from various charging sources, PRC recommends only using the charging unit provided with the device or other charger accessories that can be purchased from PRC.

You Will Learn: about Essence vocabulary and pages how to use the Setup key to make customizations how to create, link, and modify pages how to use special features For information on additional support and training, see “Getting Additional Information” on page 46. 4 Essence Vocabulary Getting Started Selecting a Key Size The first thing you will see is the Essence Welcome page. Essence Welcome Page This page asks you to select a key size that suits you. Choose 15, 45, 60, 84, or 144 to test the key sizes. The number indicates how many keys are on a page. A smaller number will have fewer keys per page, but the keys will be larger. Tip! The upper left and right corners of the Essence Welcome Page have links to target tests that may be useful in determining what key size is best for the individual. 5 Essence Vocabulary Getting Started Now you will see the Keyboard for the overlay size you selected. 15 ABC Sample Keyboard 60 QWERTY Sample Keyboard 6 Essence Vocabulary Getting Started 144 QWERTY Sample Keyboard You can change the layout of the Keyboard by selecting Change This Keyboard. This key will toggle between the QWERTY and ABC layouts. A dark blue key at the top of the keyboard shows what layout the keyboard is currently set to. Go ahead a type a few messages on the keyboard. Does this size feel comfortable to you? If you want to try a different key size, select the Return to Start key. Then select the key size you want to try next. Once you have determined that the current keyboard is the size you want to use, select the Select This Keyboard key. This will open the Directory page. 7 Essence Vocabulary Getting Started For Essence 15 Select the Tools key to open the Tools page. Then select Change Keyboard Layout. This will open a page with four different keyboard layout options: ABC Keyboard, ABC Condensed Keyboard, Frequency Keyboard, and Frequency Condensed Keyboard. Select the key for the layout you want to try. Tip! Many of the keys found on the 45, 60, 84, and 144 location keyboard will need to be accessed through the Tools key on the 15 location keyboard layouts. If you want to try a different overlay size from the 15 location, first select the Tools key and then select the Return to Start key. If you want to choose the 15 location as your overlay size, select the Tools key and then the Select This Keyboard key. The Essence 15 overlay is arranged slightly different than the other Essence overlays.

  • PC Basics Bronze Level
    PC Basics Bronze Level Keyboard Call us on 03333 444019 Learning Guide Getting Started: Using the Keyboard The Keyboard is, along with the mouse, vital to controlling your computer. Keyboards work by translating your keystrokes into a signal that a computer can understand. Keyboards usually have a standard layout but there are some “special keys” and “shortcuts” which are helpful to know about: Light sensors (for Tab Key Function Keys Delete Number Lock and Caps Lock) Escape Caps Lock Backspace Space Bar Number Keys Shift Enter Control Alt Arrow Keys Menu Key Windows Key Tip : The keyboard shown above is the FULL version that would come as a separate piece of equipment when you have a DESKTOP computer. The keyboard that is built-in on LAPTOPS is sometimes a smaller version of the one above. Please see over for a full explanation of all the above keys and buttons… Learning Guide Keyboard Commands Tab: Tab is used to advance the cursor to the next “tab spot”, which could be in a form (on the Internet) or in a letter (word processor) Caps Lock: Locks the keyboard so that anything you type is in CAPITAL LETTERS. Usually the computer shows some kind of warning that you have pressed this key e.g. a light on the keyboard Shift: Holding down the Shift key (usually denoted with a ↑on the key) has a number of uses, both to type capital letters and to access the symbols on the upper part of a key, e.g. the £ sign above the number 3. There are Shift keys on both sides of the keyboard.

  • Keymenu: a Keyboard Based Hierarchical Menu
    KeyMenu: A Keyboard Based Hierarchical Menu Kent Lyons, Nirmal J. Patel and Thad Starner College of Computing, GVU Center Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, GA 30332-0280 USA {kent,merik,thad}@cc.gatech.edu ABSTRACT KeyMenu is a keyboard based hierarchical menu system orig- inally designed for use on a wearable computer. The menu uses a one to one mapping between buttons on the keyboard and menu items. The KeyMenu leverages off of the advan- tages of other pointer based menus such as Marking Menus. It provides support for both novice and expert user interac- tion through the use of a delay in popping up the menu. Fi- nally, by using a consistent physical action we support the transition from novice to expert. KEYWORDS: Marking Menus, one-handed keypad inter- action, wearable computers Figure 1: Each of the twelve keys on the front of the Twiddler(right) correspondence directly to a menu item INTRODUCTION on the KeyMenu (left) in the same relative position. The KeyMenu is a new keyboard based hierarchical menu which utilizes the same input method to navigate and activate mounted display. This style of use breaks the tight feedback menu items for both the novice and expert. KeyMenu is a loop required for the hand-eye coordination needed to manip- pop-up menu using a grid of 3 columns and 4 rows of menu ulate a pointer on the display. The problem is compounded items. Each item on the menu corresponds to a key on the by the small screen size both in terms of pixels and field of keyboard in the same relative position (Figure 1).

  • DU Learning Guide Using the Keyboard
    DU Learning Guide Using the keyboard “Just like a typewriter.” Many web pages have places where you can type words and numbers. They are called text boxes. A text box is normally a rectangle with a small vertical line at the left hand end that flashes on and off. This is called the cursor. If you think a box on a page should be a text box, but there is no cursor, put the mouse pointer on the box and click with the left mouse button. The cursor will start to flash. A typical computer keyboard looks like this. The main part of the keyboard has letters and numbers like a typewriter. There are also some keys that have special uses when you are typing into a web page. See the next page for what they do. Scroll Number Delete Backspace Enter Keys Lock Esc Tab Caps Lock Shift Ctrl Menu Windows Space Bar Arrow Number Key Key Alt Ctrl Shift Keys Keys © Digital Unite Limited 2010 LG003_Using_the_keyboard.doc digitalunite.com DU Learning Guide: Using the keyboard Esc (escape) clears any text that you have typed in a text box. Tab moves the cursor to the next box in a form. Caps Lock locks the keyboard so that it types capitals. There’s a light on the top of the keyboard to show whether the Caps Lock is on. It has a letter A below it. NB Caps Lock does not give you the upper number key symbols. Hold down the Shift key to type capital letters and the symbols on the upper part of a key, e.g.
