 FIC A440 Series Service Manual

from the normal alphanumeric characters and the standard keyboard function keys, the 
notebook keyboard includes an embedded numeric keypad, and special function keys that 
activates by pressing the <

or “hot-keys” allows you to control and adjust some of the functions of the notebook like 
display controls, power saving features, and others.

special functions. The following function-key combinations are pre-programmed:

or simultaneous display on both.

button to resume.

modes on high-resolution LCD panel.

conjunction with other keys to change their functions. To use control keys, press and 
hold the control key while pressing another key. For example, “Press

where you want. On the screen, the cursor is a blinking underline, block, or vertical 
bar depending on the application.  

 

(6)  Typewriter keys – Typewriter keys (also called alphanumeric keys) are used to enter 

text and characters. Keys with blue print on them behave differently when combined 
with control keys or the 

key. 

 

(7)  Numeric Keypad – Pressing

numeric keypad numbers and functions printed in blue on top of the keys. When you 
press 

 again, the keys revert to their normal functions as typewriter keys.
