Emulating Fn key on external keyboard
The Fn key is only on Toshiba keyboards. If you use an external keyboard
attached to the computer, you can execute Fn key combinations by
emulating the Fn key. For example, you might hold down left Shift + left
Ctrl

Keypad overlay
Your computer’s keyboard does not have an independent numeric keypad,
but its numeric keypad overlay functions like one.
The keys in the centre of the keyboard with light grey letters make up the
numeric keypad overlay. The overlay provides the same functions as the
numeric keypad on the 101/102-key enhanced keyboard in the next
illustration.
Turning on the overlays
The numeric keypad overlay can be used for numeric data input or cursor
and page control.
Arrow mode
To turn on the Arrow mode, press Fn + F10 (Arrow mode indicator lights).
Now try cursor and page control using the keys shown in the following
illustration. Press
Fn + F10 again to turn off the overlay.
