Activating Game Mode and Customizing Game  
Settings  
When Game Mode is active, all keys, except the  
cursor and space keys, are disabled. This allows  
you to use the cursor and space keys like a  
“joystick” while playing games on your mobile  
computer. You can also customize the action of  
cursor and space keys from the Game Setting  
screen.  
NOTES: Key commands vary between games. Check the  
instructions that came with your game to determine which  
command will provide you with the action you want to  
preform.  
The keyboard driver must be enabled in order to use Game  
Mode  
To turn Game Mode on/off:  
1 From the Applications screen, tap the  
ThumbPad icon.  
2 Tap Game Mode.

cursor or space key to simulate the Date button
