To activate or deactivate a Quickey, tap on the particular pool object.

A virtual LED in the top right corner in each pool object indicates the current status of the Quickey, depending on the LED color:

- **Black**:**** Quickey is off. Some Quickeys are triggered without a LED color, for example, MENU or NUM1.

- **White**: Quickey is active.

- **Grey**: Certain Quickeys trigger keywords. The appropriate keyword is entered into the command line, when the virtual LED is grey.
