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

the keyboard as shown here.

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 cursor, 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 NumLock on both key-

boards 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 Cursors

The keyboard can be used as cursors while Number Lock is

ON or OFF in order to increase navigation ease while entering

numeric data in spreadsheets or similar applications.

shown below. For example [

Fn

] for up, [

Fn
