English

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
(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.
