Lock keys and embedded numeric keypad

The keyboard has full-sized keys with an embedded numeric keypad, as well as separate lock, cursor and Windows keys, and hotkey controls.

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 in numeric mode. The keys function
<Fn> + <F11>	as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). Use this mode
	when you need to do a lot of numeric data entry. Another solution would be connect an
	external keypad.
Scroll Lock	When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you press the up
<Fn> + <F12>	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 symbol are not printed on the keys.
