Lock Key Description
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 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 you press

or
↓
respectively. Scroll Lock does not work
with some applications.
