Getting Started

Microsoft Windows Keys

There are two special Windows keys on the keyboard as described below.

The key with the Windows Logo activates the Start menu located at the bottom left of the Win-

dows desktop.

The other key, that looks like a Windows menu with a small pointer, activates the properties

menu and is equivalent to pressing the right mouse button on a Windows object.

Keyboard as a Numeric Keypad

The numeric keypad is embedded in the keyboard and

consists of 15 keys that make number intensive input

more convenient. These dual-purpose keys are labeled in

orange on the key caps. Numeric assignments are located

at the upper right hand corner of each key as shown in the

figure. When the numeric keypad is engaged by pressing

[

Fn

][

Ins/Num LK

], the number lock LED lights up. If an

external keyboard is connected, pressing the [

Ins/Num

LK

] on the external keyboard enables/disables the Num-

Lock on both keyboards simultaneously. To disable the

numeric keypad while keeping the keypad on an external keyboard activated, press the [

Fn

][

Ins/Num

LK

] keys on the Notebook PC.

Keyboard as Pointers

The keyboard can be used as pointers while Number Lock is

ON or OFF in order to increase navigation ease while enter-

ing numeric data in spreadsheets or similar applications.
With Number Lock OFF, press [

Fn

] and one of the pointer

keys shown below. For example [

Fn

][

8

] for up, [

Fn

][K] for

down, [

Fn

][

U

] for left, and [

Fn

][

O

] for right.

With Number Lock ON, use [

Shift

] and one of the pointer keys

shown below. For example [

Shift

][

8

] for up, [

Shift

][

K

] for down,

[

Shift

][

U

] for left, and [

Shift

][

O

] for right.

The red arrows are illustrated here for your reference. They are not labeled on the

keyboard as shown here.
