The Keyboard

The computer’s keyboard layouts are compatible with a 104/105-key

enhanced keyboard - by pressing some keys in combination, all of the

104/105-key enhanced keyboard functions can be performed on the

computer.
The number of keys available on your keyboard will depend on which

country/region your computer is configured for, with keyboards being

available for numerous languages.
In use there are six different types of keys, specifically typewriter keys,

function keys, soft keys, Hot keys, Windows special keys and the keypad

overlay.

Function keys: F1 … F9

The function keys (not to be confused with the special FN key) are the nine

keys at the top of your keyboard - these keys function differently from other

keys.

F1 through F9 are called function keys because they execute programmed

functions when pressed and, when used in combination with the FN key,

those keys marked with icons also execute specific functions on the

computer.

Soft keys: FN key combinations

The FN (function) is used in combination with other keys to form soft keys.

Soft keys are key combinations that enable, disable or configure specific

features.

Never remove the key caps on your keyboard. Doing so could cause

damage to the parts under the key caps.

Please note that some software may disable or interfere with soft-key

operations, and that the soft-key settings are not restored when the

computer returns from Sleep Mode.
