Num Lock	When Num Lock is on, the right hand side numeric keypad is
	in numeric mode. The keys function as a calculator (complete
	with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). When Num Lock
	is off, the keys assume cursor and other shortcut functions.
Scroll Lock	When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down
<Fn> + <F12>	when you press the up or down arrow keys respectively.
	Scroll Lock does not work with some applications.

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.
