Chapter 2 The Basics 23
Using the Keyboard
Your iBook G4 keyboard has a numeric keypad incorporated in the standard keyboard
keys. Keys used for the numeric keypad have a smaller secondary label.
To use the numeric keypad, press the Num Lock key. An indicator light glows green,
indicating that the keypad is active. When you’re finished, press the Num Lock key
again to turn it off.
Important: If your keyboard doesn’t seem to be working correctly, check the Num Lock
key. When the numeric keypad is active, other keys and keyboard equivalents for menu
commands (such as x-Q to quit) are deactivated.
If you like to use keyboard shortcuts to work efficiently, open Mac OS Help and search
for “shortcuts.” You’ll find quite a list of keyboard shortcuts for many common
procedures and applications.
Using a Mouse
If you have an Apple mouse with a USB connector, you can insert the USB connector
into the USB 2.0 port and use your mouse right away. You can purchase a USB mouse
from an Apple Authorized Reseller or from the Apple Store website:
www.apple.com/store.
