Keypad overlay Your computer’s keyboard does not have an independent numeric
keypad, but its numeric keypad overlay functions like one. The keys in the
centre of the keyboard with white letters make up the numeric keypad
overlay. The overlay provides the same functions as the numeric keypad
on the 101/102-key enhanced keyboard in figure 5-2.
Turning on the overlays
The numeric keypad overlay can be used for numeric data input or cursor
and page control.
Arrow mode
To turn on the Arrow mode, press Fn + F10 (Arrow mode indicator
lights). Now try cursor and page control using the keys shown in the
figure below. Press Fn + F10 again to turn off the overlay.
