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.
<Fn> +
The keys function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic
<NumLk>
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.
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.
