16 - Using the keyboard

USING THE KEYBOARD

The keyboard has full-sized keys and an embedded numeric keypad,

separate cursor, lock, Windows, function and special keys.

Lock keys and embedded numeric keypad

The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.

The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric

keypad. It is indicated by small characters located on the upper right

corner of the keycaps. 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 you need to do 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 you press the up or down arrow keys

respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with some

applications.
