1.   Introduction to Programmable Keyboard KB1140/KB1141

     The matrix of the programmable keyboard KB1140/KB1141 are divided 

     into two portions: The upper 28 programmable and relengedable keys and

     and the QWERTY PC layout underneath.

     Each programmable key has three layers.

1.1  Layer Function

     There are two methods to change the keyboard layer.

     A. Pressing the LAYER KEY (the default layer key is the upper

        right key)

     B. Turning keylock. 

     You can define the LAYER KEY position if the LAYER KEY function is ON.

     The LAYER KEY can be any one of the 28 keys. You can also define the

     the Layer Key keycode.

     To set LAYER KEY function, see secion 2.8

     To define LAYER KEY position and key code, see section 2.6

     You can disable any one of the layers, but you can't disable all

     the layers. See section 2.6.

     Each depression of the LAYER KEY will change to the next enable

     layer.
