Description

Caps
Lock

When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters entered are in
uppercase.

Num
Lock
(Fn+F11)

When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric
mode. The marked keys function as a numeric keypad (complete
with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). Use this mode when
you need to do a lot of numeric data entry. An alternative
solution may be to connect an external keypad.

Scroll
Lock
(Fn+F12)

When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down
when you press the up or down arrow keys respectively.
Scroll Lock does not work with some applications.
