Descriptions

The <Esc> (Escape) key is used to cancel commands

The twelve function keys along the top of the keyboard are used to perform designated tasks. For example, in many applications, <F1> is the Help key. The task associated with each function key may vary from one application to another.

The <Insert>, <Back Space> and <Delete> keys enable you to make corrections when typing.

The <Prt Sc> key takes an electronic snapshot of the screen and moves it to the Windows® Clipboard. You can then paste the screenshot into a document and print it.

Press this button either to start up your computer, or to enter Standby mode, or to resume from a power saving mode.

You can use these buttons, numbered 1 to 4, to launch straight into assigned applications.

This contains the keys found on a typical calculator. Use the numeric keypad area to type numbers or to perform mathematical calculations such as addition and subtraction. Note that you must press the <Num Lock> key to activate the keypad.

These keys enable you to move the cursor on the screen.

The Application key displays a shortcut menu; pressing this key is equivalent to clicking the right mouse button.
