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 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 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.
With Number Lock OFF, press [

Fn

] and one of the cursor

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 cursor

keys shown below. For example [

Shift

][

8

] for up, [

Shift

][

K

]

for down, [

Shift

][

U

] for left, and [

Shift

][

O

] for right.
