Special keyboard buttons

There are special buttons (select models only) at the top of the keyboard. These buttons operate a CD or DVD player, control speaker volume, connect you to the Internet, or provide quick access to specific functions. (Some keyboard models have some of these special buttons to the left side of the main keys, some do not have the Internet buttons, and some use a different layout on the top right.)

Identifying Special Keyboard Buttons

Your keyboard may not include some of the buttons listed.

NOTE: The number, location, and labeling of buttons vary by keyboard model.
