1 Connecting the keyboard

Depending on the design, you can connect the 
keyboard to the system with a PS/2 or USB 
connection.

1.1 Connecting the keyboard to the USB 

port

1 Connect the USB plug to any USB connection 

on your system. You can also use the USB 
connection of a device that is connected to the 
system.

2 Follow the instructions on the screen.

1.2 Connecting the keyboard to the PS/2 

port

1 Turn off the system.
2 Plug the supplied USB PS/2 adapter into the 

keyboard's USB cable, if required.

3 Connect the PS/2 plug to the corresponding 

socket in the system.

4 Turn the system on again.

2 Using the integrated numeric 

keypad 
(Models G84-54xx/-55xx)

Due to the keyboard's space-saving design, the 
numeric keypad has been placed in the area of the 
main keys. For example, the functions "4", "5", "6" 
and "/" are assigned to the keys 

U

, 

I

, 

O

 and 

P

(identified by a frame).

2.1 Special key 

Fn

If Num Lock is switched on (LED   on), the 
integrated numeric pad of the keyboard is 
consciously 

not

 yet active. The numeric pad will be 

active not until the 

Fn

 button is pressed and hold 

down.
Example: 

Fn

 + 

O

 = "6"

Pressing the 

Fn

 and 

O

 in that order and holding 

them down together causes screen output "6".

Fn

 in combination with other keys switches 

functions, each marked with a frame.

2.2 Function level 

Pad

For longer numeric entries, repeat the steps above 
to activate Num Lock (LED   on) and use the key 
combination 

Fn

 + 

F12

 to turn on the function level 

Pad

 (LED 

 on).

With function 

Pad

 on, the integrated numeric 

keypad is permanently active.
The

O

key is permanently assigned the function 

"6", for example.
When Num Lock is not active (LED   off) and you 
switch on the function 

Pad

 (LED 

 on), the 

integrated numeric pad operates as a cursor 
control.
