Numeric keys

Special buttons

Basics

When the Num Lock LED (light-emitting diode) on the keyboard is on, the numeric keys are the number keys and arithmetic functions found on a basic calculator. When the Num Lock LED on the keyboard is off, the numeric keys are directional keys used during games or to move the cursor. Press the Num Lock key to lock and unlock the numeric key functions.

The special buttons are at the top of the keyboard. (Some models have some of these special buttons on the left side of the main keys.) These buttons operate a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM player, connect you to the Internet, or provide quick access to specific functions. To find out what each special button does, see “Buttons” on page 19.
