Using the Color-Coded Keys 

Each keypad available for the CK30 provides color-coded keys 

to let you access additional characters, symbols, and functions 

printed on the keypad overlay. Once you understand how to use 

the color-coded keys and key sequences, you will know how to 

access all of the additional features printed on the keypad 

overlay. There are two color-coded modifier keys on the CK30: 

the orange B key and the green C key. 

You press and release the first key and then press and release the 

second key to access the color-coded character or function 

printed above a key.
