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

<Fn>+<F11>

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.

 

 

Scroll lock

When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up

<Fn>+<F12>

or down 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.
