Getting Started
Microsoft Windows Keys
The other key, that looks like a Windows menu with a small pointer, activates the properties
menu and is equivalent to pressing the right mouse button on a Windows object.
There are two special Windows keys on the keyboard as described below.
The key with the Windows Logo activates the Start menu located at the bottom left of the
Windows desktop.
Keyboard as a Numeric Keypad
The numeric keypad is embedded in the keyboard and
consists of 15 keys that make number intensive input
more convenient. These dual-purpose keys are labeled in
orange on the key caps. Numeric assignments are located
at the upper right hand corner of each key as shown in the
figure. When the numeric keypad is engaged by pressing
[
Fn
][
Ins/Num LK
], the number lock LED lights up. If an
external keyboard is connected, pressing the [
Ins/Num
LK
] on the external keyboard enables/disables the Num-
Lock on both keyboards simultaneously. To disable the numeric keypad while keeping the keypad on
an external keyboard activated, press the [
Fn
][
Ins/Num LK
] keys on the Notebook PC.
Keyboard as Pointers
The keyboard can be used as pointers while Number Lock
is ON or OFF in order to increase navigation ease while
entering numeric data in spreadsheets or similar applica-
tions.
With Number Lock OFF, press [
Fn
] and one of the
pointer keys shown below. For example [
Fn
][
] for up,
[
Fn
][K] for down, [
Fn
][
U
] for left, and [
Fn
][
O
] for right.
With Number Lock ON, use [
Shift
] and one of the
pointer keys shown below. For example [
Shift
][
] for up,
[
Shift
][
K
] for down, [
Shift
][
U
] for left, and [
Shift
][
O
] for right.
The red arrows are illustrated here for your reference. They are not labeled on the
keyboard as shown here.
