Using iTouch Software:

Your Logitech cordless keyboard, with the included iTouch software, brings you closer and keeps you in touch with your desktop world. Browsing the web, sending e-mail, launching applications, and playing CDs or DVDs are more intuitive, easy to use, efficient, fun, and natural with your iTouch keyboard and software.

Set up and organize your iTouch keyboard your way. Using the iTouch keys and the iTouch software, customize your iTouch keyboard so you can be at your Internet home page, or favorite chat room, and run your e-mail application with the push of a button. The iTouch keys are divided into three groups, as defined by their functions.

Cordless Desktop™ Icons:

Various Cordless Desktop™ icons appear on the Windows Taskbar. These icons provide valuable information about the Cordless desktop, and make it possible for you to display keyboard and mouse property sheets easily and quickly. Double-clicking either the keyboard or mouse icon launches its respective property sheet in which you can specify options. Standard keyboard functions are also conveniently displayed on the Taskbar, which give the status of Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock. When the mouse or keyboard battery power is low, a warning icon appears to let you know that it is time to change the batteries. Whenever you change the batteries, it is a good idea to change the batteries in both the keyboard and mouse at the same time for best performance.

The Internet Keys:

Your Logitech keyboard has four programmable Internet keys that you must set up before using. (Refer to the Quick Start Guide that ships with your keyboard or desktop system for the location of these special keys, and for the location of the other iTouch keys.) You can customize the Internet keys to suit you specific needs. For example, you can set up the Internet keys as follows:

	The My Home™ key accesses your home web page or favorite Internet address.
	The E-mail key launches your e-mail application.
	The Search key displays a menu of Internet search engines.
	The Go key starts an application, accesses a web site, or displays a menu of applications and web sites.

The Internet keys have built-in flexibility. If you find it more convenient, for example, to program the Search key to access a favorite web site instead of displaying a menu of Internet search engines, the iTouch software makes it very easy for you to do so, and provides visual feedback on your screen for the operations described above.

Launching iTouch:

To access the iTouch software, double-click the iTouch icon on the Windows Taskbar.

Setting up the Internet Keys:

1. Connect to the Internet so you can easily assign Internet addresses to the iTouch Internet keys, if desired. Note that you must have an Internet account.

2. Launch the iTouch software. The Logitech Internet Keys dialog box displays.

3. Choose an Internet key to set up by clicking a tab, such as the My Home™ tab or the Go tab.

4. Choose "Web Site," "Program," or "Menu" for the key you are customizing. Click the down arrow to display these choices, then highlight your choice by clicking it.

o Web Site links a web site to the key.
o Program links an application to the key.
o Menu links a menu of web addresses, Internet search engines, and/or applications to the key, which you will need to specify. The Internet Keys dialog box has a different layout when Menu is chosen.

5. Enter information about the web site, program, or menu.

o Web Site - You can use the Browse button under the Location box of the Logitech Internet Keys dialog box to open your web browser (if it is not already running) and to navigate to the desired site. Enter a name for the web site in the Name box, then enter the web address in the Location box.
o Program - Use the Browse button under the Location box to find the application. Enter a name for the application in the Name box, then enter a file path in the Location box.
o Menu - Click the Add button to display the Menu Item dialog box. Enter information in this dialog box, as indicated below.

 

When specifying an Internet address, you can navigate to the desired web site, and once there, press CTRL and the iTouch key you are setting up (e.g., the Go key) to have the Internet address entered automatically in the Location box.

6. Click the OK button to save your changes. To modify your entries or to make changes to your iTouch keys at a later time, refer to the steps above.

Assigning a Web Site to an Internet Key:

You can easily assign a web site to an iTouch key while surfing the Net.
1. While logged on to the Internet, navigate to the web site to which you want to assign an iTouch key.
2. After you have reached the desired web site, press CTRL and the iTouch key you are assigning. For example, if you are assigning the My Home™ key, hold down the CTRL key and press the My Home key.
