Connecting Other External Devices Using a mouse 69 Making your external keyboard emulate the Fn key An external keyboard does not have the Fn key contained on the Satellite computer's built-in keyboard. If you use the computer's hot keys or have set up key combinations in Fn-esse®, you'll probably miss these features when using an external keyboard. Do not worry: you can use a key combination on the external keyboard to emulate the Fn key. You can set up this key combination through the Windows Control Panel Toshiba Hardware Setup option icon. For more information about Hardware Setup, see "Toshiba HW Setup" on page 164. Using a mouse You may want to use a mouse instead of the computer's builtin pointing device, the AccuPoint II or TouchPad. You can use a serial mouse, a PS/2-compatible mouse, or a USB mouse. Setting up a PS/2 mouse with the AccuPoint II When you connect a PS/2-compatible mouse to the PS/2 port, you may use the mouse, the AccuPoint II, or both. When connecting any PS/2 device, turn off your computer to prevent any possible hardware damage. NOTE If you connect a PS/2 mouse to the computer while it is in Standby mode, you will not be able to use the mouse when you turn the computer on. To set the PS/2 mouse to work simultaneously with the AccuPoint II: 1 Click Start, then Control Panel.
