Using the Keyboard

The full-sized keyboard includes an embedded numeric keypad, separate cursor keys, two Windows keys and
twelve function keys.

Lock keys and embedded numeric keypad

The keyboard has four lock keys which you can toggle on and off.

The computer features three lock keys, each with its own status indicator light.

NOTE: Scroll Lock doesn’t work in all applications. Toggle on and off by pressing the Fn+F12 keys

simultaneously.

The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by small characters
located on the upper right corner of the keycaps. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols
are not printed on the keys.

Windows Keys

The keyboard features two keys that perform Windows-specific functions.
