Keypad overlay

Your computer’s keyboard does not have an independent numeric
keypad, but its numeric keypad overlay functions like one.

The keys in the centre of the keyboard with light grey letters make up
the numeric keypad overlay. The overlay provides the same functions as
the numeric keypad on the 101/102-key enhanced keyboard in the next
illustration.

Turning on the overlays

The numeric keypad overlay can be used for numeric data input or
cursor and page control.

Arrow mode

To turn on the Arrow mode, press

Fn + F10 (Arrow mode

indicator

lights). Now try cursor and page control using the keys shown in the
following illustration. Press

Fn + F10

again to turn off the overlay.
