Hotkey Port Access
Invoking Hotkey Mode
All Hotkey operations begin by invoking Hotkey Mode. Invoking Hotkey
Mode takes the following three steps:
1. Hold down the [Num Lock] key
2. Press and release the [Minus] key
3. Release the [Num Lock] key
Note: 1. The minus key must be released within one half second, otherwise
Hotkey invocation is cancelled and it has no effect.
2. In case the invocation key combination causes problems with other
programs, there is an alternate combination. See Alternate Hotkey
Invocation Keys, page 52 for details.
Exiting Hotkey Mode
Press [Esc] to exit Hotkey mode.
Hotkey Mode Operation
Hotkey Mode Characteristics
When Hotkey Mode is active:
A Command Line appears on the monitor screen. The command line
prompt is the word Hotkey: in white text on a blue background, and
displays the subsequent hotkey information that you key in.
Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended – only hotkey
compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in the sections that
follow), can be input. You must exit Hotkey mode (see page 48) in order to
regain normal control of the console.
At the conclusion of some hotkey operations, you automatically exit
hotkey mode. With others, you must exit manually by pressing [Esc] or
[Spacebar].
