Lock key Description
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 doing 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 the up or
down arrow keys are pressed respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with
some applications.
