THE
KEYBOARD
The keyboard has full-sized keys and an embedded numeric keypad,
separate cursor, lock, Windows, function and special keys.
Lock keys
The keyboard has lock keys which you can use to turn keyboard
functions on and off.
The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric
keypad. It is indicated by small characters located on the upper right
corner of the keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control
key symbols are not printed on the keys.
