Presumably it's like the Canadian model, which has both North American
and European characters. If so, there is a rocker switch under the front
bevel that selects the character set.
AFAIK, it only affects the characters on the display, so using the
European character set in a program or WP document won't necessarily
translate on another computer (unless it is also in Euro mode).

Hope that helps,
