3.5 Virtual Keyboard
The Windows Touch Keyboard (Virtual Keyboard) allows you to type characters and key in
information to complete form and data entry fields, similar to a physical keyboard.
The virtual keyboard is normally running in the Windows background and can be opened in the
following ways:
• Shortcut (S) button - choose the Virtual Keyboard icon from the Shortcut (S) button menu
• Windows notification area - choose the Virtual Keyboard icon in the Windows notification
area
• Docking area - By default the virtual keyboard is docked (auto-hide) to the left side of the
screen. To access the virtual keyboard, swipe from the left edge of the screen to right
(centered top to bottom). A tab will appear on the edge of the screen. Swipe the tab again left
to right and the virtual keyboard will display.
i As an alternative, you can connect a USB keyboard to the Diagnostic Tool and use it to key in
information.
