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.
* only for certain models
Caps Lock
When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are
in uppercase.
Num Lock
When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode.
The keys function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic
ope, -, *, 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.
Scroll Lock
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.
