USING THE KEYBOARD

Your Fujitsu LifeBook has an integral 87-key keyboard. The keys perform all the standard functions of a 101-key keyboard, including the Windows keys and other special function keys. This section describes the following keys.

P O I N T

If you are using the optional external numerical keypad, pressing the [NumLk] key will activate the external key- pad. The indicator will come on, however it will not change any of the functionality of your keyboard keys.

NUMERIC KEYPAD

Certain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as both standard character keys and numeric keypad keys. NumLk can be activated by pressing the [NumLk] keys. Turning off the NumLk feature is done the same way.

Once this feature is activated you can enter numerals 0 through 9, perform addition ( + ), subtraction ( - ), multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal points ( . ) using the keys designated as ten-key function keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the front edge of the key to indicate their secondary functions.

WINDOWS KEYS

Your LifeBook has three Windows keys, consisting of two Start keys and an Application key. The two Start keys display the Start menu. This button functions the same as your on-screen Start menu button. The Applica- tion key functions the same as your right mouse button and displays shortcut menus for the selected item. (Please refer to your Windows documentation for addi- tional information regarding the Windows keys.)

CURSOR KEYS

The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left and right in applications. In programs such as Windows Explorer, it moves the “focus” (selects the next item up, down, left, or right).
