The Keyboard

The function keys (not to be confused with Fn) are the 12 keys at the top of 

your keyboard. These keys function differently from other keys. 

F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute 

programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the Fn key, 

keys marked with icons execute specific functions on the computer. Refer 

to the section, 

, in this chapter. The function 

executed by individual keys depends on the software you are using. 

The Fn (function) is used in combination with other keys to form soft keys. 

Soft keys are key combinations that enable, disable or configure specific 

features. 

Press Fn + F12 to lock the cursor on a specific line. The power on default is 

off.
