•Numeric Keypad (B) - pressing Fn+Num Lock on the keyboard activates the numeric keypad numbers and functions printed in blue at the bottom right corner of the keys. The keypad lets you type numbers and mathematical operators (+, -) as you would on a calculator. The keypad is ideal for entering long lists of numbers. When you press Fn+Num Lock again, the keys revert to their normal functions as typewriter keys.

•Windows® Keys (C) - use the following two keys to facilitate your work.

•Control Keys (D) - Ctrl, Alt, Fn and Shift are controls used in conjunction with other keys to change their functions. To use control keys, press and hold down the control key while pressing another key. For example, "Press Ctrl+c" means to hold down the Ctrl key and press the c key. Key combinations are specific to the application you are running.

Shortcut/Application key - provides quick access to shortcut menus. (This key acts like a mouse’s right-click button.)

Floating Windows® key - displays the Start menu. (The outlook of the Floating Windows® key depends on the notebook you purchase.)

•Cursor Control Keys (E) - cursor control keys let you position the cursor on the screen. On the screen, the cursor is a blinking underline, block, or vertical bar depending on the application. The cursor indicates where the next typed character/text will be inserted.
