Microsoft Windows Keys

There are two special Windows keys on the keyboard as described below.

The key with the Windows Logo activates the Start menu located at the bottom left of the Windows desktop.

The other key, that looks like a Windows menu with a small cursor, activates the proper- ties menu and is equivalent to pressing the right mouse button on a Windows object.

Keyboard as a Numeric Keypad

The numeric keypad is embedded in the keyboard and consists of 15 keys that make number intensive input more convenient. These dual-purpose keys are labeled in orange on the key caps. Numeric assignments are located at the upper right hand corner of each key as shown in the

figure. When the numeric keypad is engaged by pressing [Fn] [Ins/Num LK], the number lock LED lights up. If an external keyboard is connected, pressing the [Ins/Num LK] on the external keyboard enables/disables the NumLock on both

keyboards simultaneously. To disable the numeric keypad while keeping the keypad on an external keyboard activated, press the [Fn][Ins/Num LK] keys on the Notebook PC.

Keyboard as Cursors

The keyboard can be used as cursors while Number Lock is ON or OFF in order to increase navigation ease while entering numeric data in spreadsheets or similar applications.

With Number Lock OFF, press [Fn] and one of the cursor keys shown below. For example [Fn][8] for up, [Fn][K] for down, [Fn] [U] for left, and [Fn][O] for right.

With Number Lock ON, use [Shift] and one of the cursor keys shown below. For example [Shift] [8] for up, [Shift][K] for down, [Shift][U] for left, and [Shift][O] for right.

NOTE: The red arrows are illustrated here for your reference. They are not labeled on the keyboard as shown here.
