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.
