Is there a manual for this thing? I cannot figure out what all the multiple key functions are, or what screen lock or sys req is.

Screen lock and Sys Rq are ancient keys from the days of CRTs that are no longer used/needed. I wouldn't worry about not knowing what a key does. If a program you use requires the use of some oddball key, the program documentation will mention the key.

just hold down the FN button and the Num lock button to get rid of all the bunk and ya fine. I need to order a couple more of these keyboards. I love it. Perfect size and no numeric 10key pad is what I wanted. Best keyboard for my needs for sure

So you haven't used a PC very much? Screen Lock and Scroll Lock do the same as all PC keyboards (nothing). Hold down [Fn] and [ScrLk/NumLk] turn on the 10 key number pad. U becomes 4, I becomes 5, O becomes 6, ect. Don't use it, if you need a number pad get a different keyboard. The media keys on the top row might or might not work depending upon if your OS has media extensions, it varies even between Windows versions.

Yes you can lock your self out. This just keeps the screen from timing out.

Are you able to see a few shapes at the bottom left of the screen? If you're able to push the Iittle house shape and slide the screen and look for the Settings button. It will be on the page where you can Power off the tablet. Under Security you have a choice if you want to set a password with numbers or letters. There's no way the tablet sets its own password. Sounds like someone got a hold of your tablet. There's no possible way to do this in error. Good luck! BTW, emailing the company with any questions will get you no response unfortunately.

I'm going off memory here...but I do recall there are different modes. You can try and follow the included instructions but they're not great. Don't be afraid to press buttons, it's pretty easy to figure out what each one does after a series of hits. I do remember reading too though people having mixed issues with certain types of monitors. Hopefully that's not your situation. Hope this helps.

If I remember correctly, holding the * key for a second or two locks the keypad. It's mentioned in the user manual.

I have never seen that option, sounds like a parental control or demo mode function. It must be in the menu somewhere to turn that off. Maybe you can email Sony or open the pdf version of the manual and search for "lock"?

You can either PgDn or PgUp or use your arrow keys. If you have a touch screen you can use the screen as well

Just toggle the 2nd key on the bottom left on the keyboard for onscreen keyboard off/on. Easy. ;)

Helen, As far as I recall the only instructions were something (I forget what) that said the switch to the right of the function keys (blue or white) is to switch in and out of Windows 8 functionality. Otherwise, there was a blue sticker on the keyboard to tell you how to change the left half of the space bar to backspace. That's all there was and all I needed. The tiny print at the bottom of several keys are keyboard shortcuts, i.e. alternatives to mousing around, which have been common to windows software for many years. Otherwise it is the same as any other keyboard as far as I know. There is a compartment on the bottom for the battery also, but that should be no problem.

No cable lock. Big, colorful stickers with identifying information is the only solution I can think of... Also mark the case as it looks like a black notepad folder. I keep the monitor in my laptop bag when I'm not using it.

I wish I could. I think the Seller should have some Link or info to. I know I wanted to Lock the Touch Pad since I was using Keyboard so the document would not Errouniously move on me. But, I just worked around it and put a cut out from a file folder over it taped where It would not feel the sensitivity of my hands hitting the Touch Pad. If I need the Touch Pad, I just fold it back. Hope You get something from the Vendor on this. Good Information to have and I agree it should be somewhere.ScoTT

Good evening Mick;I was not concerned about a media key on the keyboard and pretty much knew that when I bought it. My keyboars did not have any paper work with it or instructions. The keyboard serves my needs just fine with my big fingers and the touch is very good. I also noted that none of the keys are assignable in other words there are no spares to assign a medial function to. I am sorry but that is what I have found out about it but still like it

There is a button at the top right hand corner. You have to hold it down for approx 3 sec. The Android screen will appear displaying a "lock". Slide that lock to your right.
