keypad, but its numeric keypad overlay functions like one.
The keys in the centre of the keyboard with white 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.

and page control.
Arrow mode
To turn on the Arrow mode, press Fn + F10 (Arrow mode icon lights).
Now try cursor and page control using the keys shown in the following
picture. Press Fn + F10 again to turn off the overlay.
