3 Using Your Laptop

Alphanumeric Keys

Your laptop’s alphanumeric keys consist of alphabetic keys (A-Z), numeric keys (0-9), and keys with printable symbols that are found on most typewriters.

Function Keys

The function keys are the smaller keys in the top row of the keyboard labeled F1 through F12. See Figure 10. Although function keys generally send instructions to your laptop’s software, their precise functions vary with respect to the operating system and software you are using. Refer to the appropriate documentation for your software and operating system for precise function key definitions.
