Temporarily using overlay (overlay off)

While using the normal keyboard, you can temporarily use the keypad
overlay without turning it on:

1. Press and hold down Fn.

2. Check the keyboard indicators. Pressing Fn turns on the most

recently used overlay. If the Numeric mode indicator lights, you can
use the overlay for numeric entry. If the Arrow mode indicator lights,
you can use the overlay for cursor and page control.

3. Release Fn to return to normal keyboard operation.

Temporarily changing modes

If the computer is in Numeric mode, you can switch temporarily to Arrow
mode by pressing a shift key.

If the computer is in Arrow mode, you can switch temporarily to Numeric
mode by pressing a shift key.

operation. But, you can generate these characters using their ASCII
codes.

1. Hold down Alt.

2. Using the overlay keys, type the ASCII code.

3. Release Alt, and the ASCII character appears on the display screen.

With the overlay off:

1. Hold Alt + Fn.

3. Release Alt + Fn, and the ASCII character appears on the display
