Operating Instructions

Basic Keyboard Functions

The keyboard functions as a standard Japanese layout (JP JA) input device. All alphanumeric keys, symbols, and modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Fn) operate as expected for a Japanese keyboard.

Refer to your laptop's specific documentation for the exact key combination to toggle or adjust backlight brightness.

• Wireless/Bluetooth toggle
• External display output
• Sleep mode

The specific functions may vary based on your laptop model. Consult your laptop's user manual for detailed information on Fn key operations.
