Lock keys and embedded numeric keypad*
The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.
The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is
indicated by small characters located on the upper right corner of the keycaps.
To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols are not printed on
the keys.

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

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

you press the up or down arrow keys respectively. Scroll Lock does
not work with some applications.
