Keyboard USING THE KEYBOARD
Your Fujitsu LifeBook Series notebook has an integral
87-key keyboard. The keys perform all the standard
functions of a 101-key keyboard, including the Windows
keys and other special function keys. This section
describes the following keys. (Figure 2-10)
■Numeric keypad: Your notebook allows certain keys to
serve dual purposes, both as standard characters and
as numeric and mathematical keys. The ability to
toggle between the standard character and numerical
keys is controlled through the [NumLk] key.
■Cursor keys: Your keyboard contains four arrow
keys for moving the cursor or insertion point to the
right, left, up, or down within windows, applications
and documents.
■Function keys: The keys labeled [F1] through [F12],
are used in conjunction with the [FN] key to produce
special actions that vary depending on what program
is running.
■Windows keys: These keys work with your Windows
operating system and function the same as the
onscreen Start menu button, or the right button on
your pointing device.
NUMERIC KEYPAD
Certain keys on the keyboard perform dual functions as
both standard character keys and numeric keypad keys.
NumLk can be activated by pressing the [NumLk] keys.
Turning off the NumLk feature is done the same way.
Once this feature is activated you can enter numerals 0
through 9, perform addition ( + ), subtraction ( - ),
multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal
points ( . ) using the keys designated as ten-key function
keys. The keys in the numeric keypad are marked on the
front edge of the key to indicate their secondary functions.
WINDOWS KEYS
Your notebook has three Windows keys, two Start keys
and an Application key. The two Start keys display the
Start menu. This button functions the same as your
onscreen Start menu button. The Application key func-
tions the same as your right mouse button and displays

If you are using the optional external numerical keypad,
pressing the [NumLk] key will activate the external key-
pad. The indicator will come on, however it will not
