Learning the Basics
Using the keyboard
Your computer’s keyboard includes only one 
Enter 
key. Most of the 
time, this does not matter. However, some programs assign separate 
functions to the regular and numeric pad 
Enter
 keys on the full-sized 
keyboard. Using the 
Fn
 key, you can simulate the separate key, as 
follows: Press 
Fn
 and 
Enter
 simultaneously to simulate the 
Enter
 key 
on the numeric pad of the enhanced keyboard. Pressing the
 Fn
 key 
simultaneously in combination with one of the specially marked 
keys allows you to emulate a full-size keyboard. 
Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys
 
(Sample Illustration) Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys 
The 
Ctrl
Fn
, and 
Alt
 keys do different things depending on the 
program you are using. For more information, see your program 
documentation.
Function keys
The function keys (not to be confused with the 
Fn
 key) are the 12 
keys at the top of the keyboard. 
 
(Sample Illustration) Function keys
F1
 through 
F12
 are called function keys because they execute 
programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the 
Fn
 key, function keys marked with icons execute specific functions 
on the computer. For example, 
Fn + F9
 turns the touch pad ON/OFF.
