Using the Navigation Keys
Located in the center of each keyboard for easy access with either hand, the navigation keys enable you
to navigate the cursor through an application screen.
The navigation keys perform additional system functions when pressed in combination with the Blue and
Red modifier keys. For details, see the key combination tables for the 24-Key Keyboard (page 4-4) and
the 38-Key Keyboard (page 4-7).
