Using the Numeric Keypad
Your keyboard includes a numeric keypad, which is a group of keys that you can set to type numbers and mathematical symbols, such as the plus sign. A number or symbol on the right corner of each keypad key shows its numeric function.

Press <Num Lock> to turn on the embedded numeric keypad. The numeric functions of the keypad are enabled and the Num Lock LED turns on. (See “Reading the System Status LEDs” on page 27 for the location of the Num Lock LED.)
While the numeric functions are enabled, you can temporarily return a key to its normal function by pressing <Fn> and the key. For example to type the letter m, press <Fn+M>, this operation displays the letter m.
To turn the numeric keypad off, press <Num Lock> again. The Num Lock LED turns off.
