Learning the Basics
Using the keyboard
Keep liquids, including cleaning fluid, out of the computer’s 
keyboard, speaker, and other openings. Never spray cleaner directly 
onto the computer and/or display. Never use harsh or caustic 
chemical products to clean the computer.
Character keys 
Typing with the character keys is very much like typing on a 
typewriter, except that: 
The space bar creates a space character instead of just passing 
over an area of the page.
The lowercase letter l (el) and the number 1 are not 
interchangeable.
The uppercase letter O and the number 0 are not 
interchangeable.
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 marked with icons and are called function keys 
because they execute programmed functions when pressed. For 
more information, see
