Fig. 4-4 The Integrated Numeric Keypad
NUM LOCK plus the Numeric Keypad
The keys in this group have two functions depending on whether the Num Lock Key is toggled On
or OFF, and whether the Fn key has been pressed.
When Num Lock is toggled on (the Num Lock LED in the control panel will illuminate), the M, J,
K, L, U, I, O, 7/&, 8/*, and 9/( keys will function as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 respectively. Thus,
with the NUM LOCK toggled ON, if you press the “k” key a 2 will appear on your screen just as if
you pressed the five key in the typewriter keys. In addition, the ./> key becomes “.” (decimal
point); the //? key becomes “/” [SX/DX 4-7] (division sign); the ;/: key becomes “+”; the P key
becomes “-” (minus); and the 0/) key becomes “*” (multiplication sign). With Num Lock on the
numeric keypad is especially convenient for users who frequently need to use the keypad as a
calculator function.
Fn plus the Numeric Keypad
If you press these keys with the
Fn
key depressed then a different function is accessed. If you press
and hold the
Fn
key the ./>, M, J, K, L, U, O, 7/&, 8/* and 9/( keys become Del, Ins, End, Cursor
Down, PgDn, Cursor Left, Cursor Right, Home, Cursor Up and PgUp keys respectively. The
functions accessible by pressing the function key are printed on the relevant keys enclosed in a box,
and duplicate the functions of the cursor keys described earlier.
