Operating Your Computer
2-7
Numeric keys facilitate entering of numbers and calculations. When Num
Lock is on, the numeric keys are activated, which means you can use
these keys to enter numerals.
NOTES:
When the numeric keypad is activated and you need to type the English letter in the
keypad area, you can either turn Num Lock off or you can press
Fn
and then the
letter without turning Num Lock off.
Some software may not be able to use the numeric keypad on the computer. If so,
use the numeric keypad on an external keyboard instead.

Windows Keys
The keyboard has two keys that perform Windows-specific functions:
Windows Logo key and Application key.
The
Windows Logo key opens the Start menu and performs
software-specific functions when used in combination with other keys.
The Application key usually has the same effect as a right mouse
click. (See your Windows manual for more information.)
