The Fluke Biomedical-specified keyboards do not have a separate numeric keypad but have
a second function (Fn) key that makes the Num Lock appear to always be active. Although
not labeled on the Fluke Biomedical-specified keyboards, the following keys are mapped to
the characters shown.

Note: The function keys for the divide operation and decimal separator, and the Del

key, do not produce the correct or desired character in all language versions.
