Description
Caps Lock
When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed
are in uppercase.
Num Lock
(
F
N
+F11
)
When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in
numeric mode. The keys function as a calculator
(complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). Use
this mode when you need to do a lot of numeric data
entry. A better solution would be to connect an external
keyboard. See “External keyboard” on page 56.
Scroll Lock
(Fn+F12)
When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up
or down when you press
↑
or
↓
respectively. Scroll Lock
does not work with some programs.
