Key features and operations are described below:

• Function Keys

Function keys are application-driven, like F1 through F12 can be found on

the keyboard. These keys work together with the Fn key to activate special

functions. Some keys (printed in blue on keypad) are preprogrammed with

dual functions.

• Control keys — Ctrl, Alt, Fn, and Shift are controls used in conjunction

with other keys to change their functions. To use control keys, press and

hold the control key while pressing another key. For example, "Press Ctrl-

C" means to hold down the Ctrl key and type the letter C. Key

combinations work especially to the application you are running.

• Windows keys

Use the following two keys to facilitate your work:

⇓ Start Menu key

Displays the Start menu.

⇓ Shortcut/Application key

Provides quick access to shortcut menus. This key acts like a right

mouse button.

• Cursor Control keys

Cursor control keys let you position the cursor on the screen where you

want. In the screen, the cursor is a blinking underline, block, or vertical

bar depending on the application. The cursor indicates where the next text

typed is inserted.
