Falcon
®

The Falcon 33x and 34x 25-key units have some keys that are not found on
a PC keyboard. These keys are shown in
Table 12. Page numbers indicate
where to find more information about the keys.
Table 12: Falcon 25-key Unique Keys
Icons and Input Modes
During operations that require use of a disk drive, a disk icon (shown at
left) appears on the right side of the viewport. This indicates that the unit
is busy. Wait until the icon disappears before continuing to use the unit.
The current input mode determines key functions on the Falcon
32x. The
input modes and the corresponding icons are described in
Table 13. Icons
located along the right side of the viewport indicate the current input
mode.
