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 mode. The

(Fn-F11)

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 when

(Fn-F12)

you press the up or down arrow keys respectively. Scroll Lock does not

 

work with some applications.
