Keyboard Keys

Num Lock Blinking

When the Num Lock indicator light is blinking-caused by pressing the Fn-F7 (NumLk)
keys-the embedded numeric keypad becomes a temporary numeric keypad that does not
require you to press any other key.
This mode is particularly useful when you have to
enter a large quantity of numbers. If you press and hold the Fn key in this mode, the
keypad keys generate their normal characters.

Note: If you press the Shift key in addition to the keys shown in the figures above, the
shifted status is reversed; that is, shifted is unshifted and unshifted is shifted.

ScrLk

Press the ScrLk (Scroll Lock) key to toggle on and off the scroll-lock function. The
Scroll Lock indicator above the keyboard also lights. This key has no fixed function, see
your application program documentation.

Pause

In MS-DOS and many applications, pressing the Pause key stops the displayed text from
scrolling. Pressing any other key restarts scrolling.

Combination Keys

Several functions are generated on the keyboard by pressing the Ctrl and Fn keys in
conjunction with the keys described below to produce the functions labeled on the front of
the key.
