A TOUR OF THE NOTEBOOK’S KEYBOARD
The Notebook’ s keyboard uses a standard QWERTY layout with
the addition of special function keys and an embedded numeric
keypad for number intensive data entry. Your keyboard supports
Windows by incorporating the two Windows specific keys.
With the two Windows keys you will be able to access and take
advantage of many of the timesaving features of Windows software.
The function keys (F1-F12) on the top row of the keyboard, serve
different purposes and carry out different tasks depending on the
application you are running.
The cursor (arrow) keys (which are all located in the lower right
corner of your keyboard) and the [PgUp], [PgDn], [Home] and [End]
keys (which are located along the right edge of the keyboard) allow
you to move the active cursor of the computer to various locations
on the screen or within the document.
The embedded numeric keypad consists of 15 keys that make
number intensive input more convenient. Like the [Num Lock] key,
these keys are labeled in blue on the keycaps. Numeric
assignments are located at the upper right of each key.
When the numeric keypad is engaged, the NumLock icon will
appear in the System Window. The keypad is activated by pressing
the [Fn] + [NumLk] key. If an external keyboard is connected,
pressing the NumLock key on either the Notebook or external
keyboard will enable/disable NumLock of both keyboards in unison.
To disable the Notebook numeric keypad while keeping the keypad
on an external keyboard activated, use the [Fn] + [NumLk] hot key
on the Notebook keyboard.
