Using the Keyboard
The keyboard has full-sized keys and an embedded keypad, separate cursor keys, two Windows keys and
twelve function keys.
Lock Keys and embedded numeric keypad
The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.
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 has two keys that perform Windows-specific functions.
Lock Key Description
Caps Lock When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters
typed are in uppercase.
Num lock
+ When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is
in numeric mode. The keys function as a
calculator (complete with the arithmetic
operators +, -, *, and /). Use this mode when
you need to do a lot of numeric data entry. A
better solution would be to connect an external
keypad.
Scroll lock
+ When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one
line up or down when you press the up or down
arrow keys respectively. Scroll Lock does not
work with some applications.
