Using the Keyboard

The keyboard has full-sized keys and an embedded keypad, separate cursor keys, two Windows keys and twelve function keys.

Lock Keys and embedded numeric keypad

The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.

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
<Fn>+<F11>	in 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
<Fn>+<F12>	line up or down 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.
