Using the keyboard
Your computer may be equipped with a 10-key
keyboard, depending on your model.
Your computer’s keyboard contains character keys, control
keys, function keys, and special Windows keys.

Function keys
The function keys (not to be confused with the
FN
key) are
the 12 keys at the top of the keyboard.
(Sample Illustration) Function keys
These
are called function keys because they execute
programmed functions when pressed. When used in
combination with the
FN
key, function keys marked with
icons execute the traditional
F1-F12
functions on the
computer. For example, the (
) key turns the touchpad
ON/OFF. If you press the
FN
+ (
) keys, the traditional F5
function (refreshes the Internet page), is performed. For more
information, see
“TOSHIBA Function Keys” on page 144
