Acer 3210 User Manual

Chapter 1

17

The keyboard has full-sized keys and an embedded keypad, separate cursor keys, two Windows keys and 
twelve function keys.

The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.

The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by small characters 
located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols 
are not printed on the keys.

Caps Lock

When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed 
are in uppercase.

Num lock   

<Fn>+<F11>

When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in 
numeric mode. The keys function as a calculator 
(complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). 
Use this mode when you need to do a lot of numeric 
data entry. A better solution would be to connect an 
external keypad. 

Scroll lock   

<Fn>+<F12>

When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up 
or down when you press the up or down arrow keys 
respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with some 
applications.
