Function and Keypad Keys
Top Components: Function and Keypad Keys
1 | Function keys (12) | Perform system and application tasks. |
|
| For example, in Windows and many |
|
| applications, pressing F1 opens a Help |
|
| file. When combined with the Fn key, |
|
| the function keys F2 through F4 and F7 |
|
| through F12 perform additional tasks |
|
| as hotkeys.* |
|
|
|
2 | Fn key | Combines with other keys to perform |
|
| system tasks. For example, pressing |
|
| the Fn+F7 hotkeys decreases screen |
|
| brightness and pressing the Fn+F8 |
|
| hotkeys increases screen brightness. |
|
|
|
3 | Keypad keys (15)* | Can be used like the keys on an |
|
| external numeric keypad. |
*For more information about using hotkeys or keypad keys, refer to the Documentation Library CD, Hardware Guide, Chapter 2, “Pointing Device and Keyboard.”
