The keyboard has three lock keys which can be toggled on and off.

Embedded Numeric Keypad

The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated by

small characters located on the upper right corner of the key caps. To simplify the keyboard

legend, cursor-control key symbols are not printed on the keys.

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 doing 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 the up or

down arrow keys are pressed respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with

some applications.
