Microsoft Windows Keys

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 other key, that looks like a Windows menu with a small cursor, activates the properties
menu and is equivalent to pressing the right mouse button on a Windows object.

Keyboard as a Numeric Keypad

The numeric keypad is embedded in the keyboard and con-
sists of 15 keys that make number intensive input more con-
venient. 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 key-

board is connected, pressing the [

Ins/Num LK

] on the ex-

ternal keyboard enables/disables the NumLock on both key-
boards simultaneously. To disable the numeric keypad while
keeping the keypad on an external keyboard activated, press the [

Fn

][

Ins/Num LK

] keys on the Note-

book PC.

Keyboard as Cursors

The keyboard can be used as cursors while Number Lock is
ON or OFF in order to increase navigation ease while en-
tering numeric data in spreadsheets or similar applications.

keys shown below. For example [

Fn

][

8

] for up, [

Fn

down, [
