Lock Description

are in uppercase.
Num Lock

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
keyboard. See “External keyboard” on page 56.
Scroll Lock

or down when you press

or

respectively. Scroll Lock
does not work with some programs.
