The function keys (not to be confused with the special FN key) are the 

twelve keys at the top of your keyboard - these keys function differently 

from other keys.

F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute 

programmed functions when pressed and, when used in combination with 

the FN key, those keys marked with icons also execute specific functions 

on the computer. 

The FN (function) is used in combination with other keys to form soft keys. 

Soft keys are key combinations that enable, disable or configure specific 

features.

This computer's keyboard is designed to provide all the features of the 104-

key enhanced keyboard.
Since the keyboard is smaller and has fewer keys, some of the enhanced 

keyboard functions must be simulated using two keys instead of one on the 

larger keyboard.
The FN key can be combined with the following keys to simulate functions 

similar to those of keys on the 104/105 key enhanced keyboard which are 

not on this computer's keyboard.

This indicator glows green when letter keys are 

locked into their uppercase format.
