Acer 5210 manual Using the Keyboard, Lock keys and Embedded Numeric Keypad

Using the Keyboard

The full-sized keyboard includes an embedded numeric keypad, separate cursor, lock, Windows, function and special 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 are typed in uppercase.
Num Lock	When Num Lock is on, the right hand side numeric keypad is in numeric mode. The
<Fn> + <F11>	keys function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /).
	When Num Lock is off, the keys assume cursor and other shortcut functions.
Scroll Lock	When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you press the
<Fn> + <F12>	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.
