Switching Key Functions on the Embedded Numeric
Keypad
You can temporarily switch the functions of keys on the
embedded numeric keypad between their standard keyboard
functions and their keypad functions by using the
fn key or the
fn+shift key combination.
■ To change the function of a keypad key to keypad functions
while the keypad is off, press and hold the
fn key while
pressing the keypad key.
■ To use the keypad keys temporarily as standard keys while
the keypad is on:
❏ Press and hold the fn key to type in lowercase.
❏ Press and hold fn+shift to type in uppercase.
Using an External Keypad
Most keys on most external keypads function differently
according to whether num lock mode is on or off. For example:
■ When num lock is on, most keypad keys type numbers.
■ When num lock is off, most keypad keys function like the
arrow, page up, or page down keys.
When num lock on an external keypad is turned on, the num lock
light on the tablet PC is turned on. When num lock on an external
keypad is turned off, the num lock light on the tablet PC is turned
off.
If an external numeric keypad is connected, the embedded
numeric keypad cannot be turned on.
Enabling or Disabling Num Lock Mode As You Work
To turn num lock on or off on an external numeric keypad as you
work, press the
num lk key on the external numeric keypad, not on
the tablet PC.
