The arrow keys are defined by the

software

application.

The

UP ARROW

key usually moves the cursor up one line. In some cases, you can use the up arrow to make

selections from menus and scrollable list boxes.

The

DOWN ARROW

key usually moves the cursor down one line. In Windows, you can use the down arrow to make

selections from menus and scrollable list boxes.

The

RIGHT ARROW

key usually moves the cursor one character position to the right.

The

LEFT ARROW

key usually moves the cursor one character position to the left.

Function Keys

Hold the

FN

key while pressing the numbered function key.

Numeric Keypad

The numeric keypad is embedded in the keyboard area. The
embedded keypad emulates the numeric keypad typically found on a
full-size keyboard. It is arranged like a calculator for applications that
require you to key many numbers or for use with the Calculator in the
standard Windows Accessories.

Touchpad

The touchpad is a pointing device that
provides all the features of a two-button
mouse. Its primary function is to move
the cursor around the screen.

Using Your Touchpad

Clicking

1. First, place your fingers on the keyboard in the normal typing position. The touchpad is easily accessible by

moving either your left or right thumb off the space bar and on to the touchpad.

2. Gently move your thumb across the touchpad in the direction you want the cursor to move. The pad detects the

change in pressure and moves the cursor in the corresponding direction.
