Lock Key	Description
Caps Lock	When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in uppercase.
Num Lock	When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode. The keys
	function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and
	/). Use this mode when you need to do a lot of numeric data entry. A
	better solution would be to connect an external keypad. See “External
	keyboard” on page 43.
Scroll Lock	When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you
(Fn-Scroll Lk)	press ↑ or ↓ respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with some applications.
