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

<Fn> + <F11>

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 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.
