Keyboard and Touchpad
Using an External Numeric Keypad
✎The embedded numeric keypad cannot be used while an optional external numeric keypad is connected to the computer.
Most keys on most external numeric keypads function differently depending on whether num lock mode is on or off. For example:
■When num lock mode is on, most keypad keys type numbers.
■When num lock mode is off, most keypad keys function like the arrow, page up, or page down keys.
Turning Num Lock Mode On and Off As You Work
To turn num lock mode on or off on an external numeric keypad as you work, press the num lk key on the external keypad, not on the computer.
■When an external numeric keypad is turned on and is in num lock mode, the num lock light on the computer is on.
■When an external numeric keypad is turned off or is turned on with num lock mode turned off, the num lock light on the computer is off.
