The FnLock switch
The FnLock is a switch that reverses the default and hidden function of a hotkey. The FnLock switch shares
the ESC key (in the upper left corner of the keyboard). To turn it on or off, press Fn + ESC. The following table
provides an example of how the FnLock switch changes the default function of the F1 key.
