A Tour of the Notebook’s Keyboard
The Notebook’s keyboard uses a standard QWERTY layout with the addition of
special function keys and an embedded numeric keypad for number intensive data
entry. Your keyboard supports Windows by incorporating the two Windows specific
keys. With the two Windows keys you will be able to access and take advantage of
many of the timesaving features of Windows software.
The function keys (F1-F12) on the top row of the keyboard, serve different purposes
and carry out different tasks depending on the application you are running.
The cursor (arrow) keys (which are all located in the lower right corner of your
keyboard) and the [PgUp], [PgDn], [Home] and [End] keys (which are located along
the right edge of the keyboard) allow you to move the active cursor of the computer
to various locations on the screen or within the document.
The embedded numeric keypad consists of 15 keys that make number intensive input
more convenient. Like the [Num Lock] key, these keys are labeled in blue on the
keycaps. Numeric assignments are located at the upper right of each key.
When the numeric keypad is engaged, the NumLock icon will appear in the System
Window. The keypad is activated by pressing the [Fn] + [NumLk] key. If an
external keyboard is connected, pressing the NumLock key on either the Notebook or
external keyboard will enable/disable NumLock of both keyboards in unison.
To disable the Notebook numeric keypad while keeping the keypad on an external
keyboard activated, use the [Fn] + [NumLk] hot key on the Notebook keyboard.
