Description

Caps Lock

When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed
are in uppercase.

Num Lock

<Fn> + <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
keypad.

Scroll Lock

<Fn> + <F12>

When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or
down when you press the up or down arrow keys
respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with some
applications.
