Using The Keyboard; Lock Keys; Embedded Numeric Keypad - Acer Aspire One D270 Service Manual

Using the Keyboard

The computer has a close-to-full-sized keyboard and an embedded numeric keypad,
separate cursor, lock, function and special keys.

Lock Keys

The keyboard has three lock keys which can be toggled on and off.

Embedded Numeric Keypad

The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is indicated
by small characters located on the upper right corner of the key caps. To simplify the
keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols are not printed on the keys.

When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in uppercase.
When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode. The
keys function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -,
*, and /). Use this mode when doing a lot of numeric data entry. A better
solution would be to connect an external keypad.
<Fn> + <F11> only for certain models.
When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when the
up or down arrow keys are pressed respectively. Scroll Lock does not work
with some applications.
