Using an External Numeric Keypad
Most keys on most external numeric keypads function differently
according to whether num lock mode is on or off. For example:
■
When num lock is on, most keypad keys type numbers.
■
When num lock is off, most keypad keys function like the
arrow, page up, or page down keys.
When num lock on an external numeric keypad is turned on, the
num lock light on the tablet PC is turned on. When num lock on
an external numeric keypad is turned off, the num lock light on
the tablet PC is turned off.
If the external numeric keypad is connected, the embedded
numeric keypad cannot be turned on.
Enabling or Disabling Num Lock Mode as You Work
To turn num lock on or off on an external numeric keypad as you
work, press the
num lk
key on the external numeric keypad, not on
the tablet PC.
