Using the keyboard

The keyboard has full-sized keys and an embedded numeric keypad, separate 
cursor, lock, Windows, function and special keys.

Lock keys and embedded numeric keypad

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.

Note: <Fn> + <F11> only for certain models.

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.

Number keys on 
embedded keypad

Type numbers in a normal 
manner.

Cursor-control keys 
on embedded 
keypad

Hold <Shift> while using 
cursor-control keys.

Hold <Fn> while using 
cursor-control keys.
