Hidden Keypad Symbols

[BUSMAN747]

DID you know?............

Your keyboard can do many more symbols than those shown? For instance: ¼, ¢ or ÷

You have to use the numerics board to your right, not the usual top row! Make sure that the "num lock" is on (There is usually a light to indicate this) Hold down "ALT" and enter 0189 to get this: ½

Here are a few of the more common signs....

ALT + 0188bbbbb¼
ALT + 0189ccccc½
ALT + 0190vvvvv¾

ALT + 0215bbbbb×
ALT + 0247vvvvv÷

ALT + 0187vvvvv»
ALT + 0171vvvvv«

ALT + 0185vvvvv¹
ALT + 0178vvvvv²
ALT + 0179vvvvv³bbbbbeg: (6)³

ALT + 0162vvvvv¢

And finally, (but don't ask me how its used)

ALT + 0191vvvvv¿

There are many more, the one that I am after is the Euro sign, I am sure its there somewhere but haven't managed to get the correct number yet, perhaps some member may be able to enlighten me?

Probably the battery, try taking the battery off and using just the mains to see if it works.
