If, for example, you want to program the keyboard at the 2nd layer, choose Layer 2 in the tool bar. Then assign 

the  key  codes  by 

“Key  Code”  or  “ASCII  Code”  method.  Assigning  a  key  to  Layer  Index  2  is  required  for 

changing the whole key map to the 2nd layer. There are three operational modes of the layer index key and 

one function allows user to set the layer index key back to layer 0. Their operations are described as below: 

1. 

Shift Mode: Press index key while strike any key at the keyboard. When release the pressing of the 

layer index key it alters the keyboard back to layer 0. 

2. 

Lock-on Mode: The index layer key pressed, the keyboard is locked to the designated layer. At this 

mode, any  key  strike without  pressing index layer  key is required. When the index layer key is 

pressed again, then, the keyboard alters to layer 0. 

3. 

Alternate Mode: The index layer key pressed, the board is locked to the designated layer. However, 

after any key strike would alter the keyboard back to layer 0. 

4. 

Break: The index layer key is programmed and it pressed, the index layer key would back to layer 0.
