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 w and y respectively.

 

Scroll Lock does not work with some applications.
