Microsoft Windows Keys
Getting Started
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.
The red arrows are illustrated here for your reference. They are not labeled on the
keyboard as shown here.
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/disa-
bles the NumLock 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 applications.

Fn

keys shown below. For example [
Fn
][
] for up, [
Fn
][K] for
down, [
Fn

Fn

shown below. For example [
Shift
][
] for up, [
Shift

[
Shift

U
