Keyboard as a Numeric Keypad
The numeric keypad is embedded in the keyboard and consists
of 15 keys that make number intensive input more convenient.
These dual-purpose keys are labeled in orange on the key caps.
Numeric assignments are located at the upper right hand corner
of each key as shown in the figure. When the numeric keypad is
engaged by pressing [
Fn
][

], the number lock LED lights
up. If an external keyboard is connected, pressing the [
Ins/Num LK

keyboards simultaneously.

keypad while keeping
the keypad on an external
keyboard activated, press the
[
Fn

Ins/Num LK
] keys on the
Notebook PC.
