If you are referring to red button located near the letters G, B, and H on the keyboard, this is called a TrackPoint. It's purpose is to act as a mouse that you control with your finger. The buttons located below it, with red on them are the equivalent to the Left Click and Right Click buttons on a standard PC mouse. There is a guide located here that contains an overview of your Laptop: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/39t2332.pdf

I purchased a emerson 6113bk and I need the manual for it

Thanks for visiting FixYa!

As far as I know, Emerson product model numbers do not begin with numbers - they begin with letters. (But, I've been wrong before.) If it is a phone you're asking about, the model number may be EM6113. The bk prefix usually means that is is black. (Maybe).

Anyway, if the item you have is an EM6113 phone, you can view the user guide by clicking here: EM6113 User Guide

You'll need a PDF reader to view the page. If you don't have one, you can download one here for free: Adobe Reader

If this is not your product, please verify your model number and include exactly what your device is and well continue to assist you. Thanks!
