Page 58 highlights

58 Connecting Other External Devices Using a mouse Making your external keyboard emulate the Fn key An external keyboard does not have the Fn key contained on the TE2100 Series 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. Don't 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 HWSetup icon. For more information about Hardware Setup, see "Toshiba Hardware Setup" on page 187. Using a mouse You may want to use a mouse instead of the computer's built-in pointing device, the AccuPoint II. You can use a serial mouse or a PS/2-compatible mouse. A serial mouse disables the AccuPoint II. A PS/2-compatible mouse allows you to have the AccuPoint II active at the same time. 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. CAUTION: 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.

Connecting Other External Devices
Using a mouse
Making your external keyboard emulate the Fn key
An external keyboard does not have the
Fn
key contained on the
TE2100 Series 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. Don’t 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
HWSetup icon. For more information about Hardware Setup, see
“Toshiba Hardware Setup” on page 187
.
Using a mouse
You may want to use a mouse instead of the computer’s built-in
pointing device, the AccuPoint II. You can use a serial mouse or a
PS/2-compatible mouse.
A serial mouse disables the AccuPoint II. A PS/2-compatible
mouse allows you to have the AccuPoint II active at the same time.
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.
CAUTION: 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.
