    Solution:

- Make sure you have installed Windows Media Player version 7 or later properly. If not, please download the Windows Media Player version 7 or later from Microsoft Web site.

6. Symptom: Some enhanced office functions might lose

      Solution: 

- Microsoft Windows operating system and applications must support different language for different countries. It limits the functions of enhanced office keys. So, some enhanced functions are only for target language usage. The descriptions of the enhanced office keys' functions are for reference and may not reflect your keyboard exactly.

 

7. Symptom: The functions of the enhanced office keys do not match the key's printed name or do not work

      Solution: 

- All enhanced office keys follow the definitions of the standard Microsoft shortcut combination keys. They do not need any support from software driver. In few cases, when you press the target enhanced office keys, they do not work or produce different result. This means the applications do not support the standard the definitions of the standard Microsoft shortcut combination keys and the target functions, or the software applications conflict with the definitions.

- We recommend you to contact with the software application dealer or download the new version to upgrade your applications from Microsoft Web site. For example, use Office 2000 to replace Office 97, or use IE 5.0 to replace IE 4.0.

8. Symptom: € The Euro sign doesn't work

      Solution: 

- Make sure the LED of  both "Office Wizard" and "num lock" are on. The € Euro sign only works when both of the Office Wizard and Num Lock are activated.

 

9. Symptom: The enhanced function keys (embedded office keys) do not work:

      Solution: 

- It will give the F1-F12 keys new functions if the the Office Wizard  Key function is enabled. The new functions can support under Microsoft Office (Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and Power Point), IE and other newer applications almost. If the new enhance function keys are used under any older versions or other applications, unexpected results may occur or some enhance function key will not work at all. However, in the meantime Microsoft recommends that all software applications should support Microsoft shortcut combination keys. We recommend using Office2000, XP (2002) and IE5, IE6 or later versions.


Older software applications that do not support enhance function keys (embedded office keys), for example:

 

 

10. Symptom: The embedded SEND key function does not work:

      Solution: 

- In few case and with some European languages, the SEND key cannot work in “Microsoft Outlook2000 or Outlook2002” when the Microsoft Outlook menu item Use Microsoft Word to edit email messages” is highlighted. To assign the shortcut key for the SEND function, you should carry out the following steps:

(1) Open “Microsoft Word” application and click on “Tools”, “Customize”.

(2) Click on “Commands” and “Keyboard”.

(3) Select “All Commands” from “Categories” and “EmailSend” from “Commands”. Click and move cursor to “Press new shortcut key” blank area then Press the SEND key (the SEND key build on the Keyboard, that is; please make sure Keyboard office lock indicator is already enabled). You will see the  “Alt+S” replace blank area after you press the SEND key. When you click the “Assign” select item, the “Alt+S” will show under “Current keys”.

(4) Click on “Close” and “Word” application to complete the setup process. Re-test the SEND key function under “Microsoft Outlook”: The SEND key function should now be working properly.

Warning: Please don’t click the “Reset All” select item; or you will lose all shortcut key functions.

 

Note: It is the best way of using the SEND key. You should press “Shift+Tab” to let the cursor jump to “Subject” after completing your email edit, and then press the “SEND” key. Otherwise the “SEND” sometimes fails to work.

 

If above troubleshooting suggestions still do not solve your problem then please refer to your direct dealer for technical support.
