Caps Lock
When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are
in uppercase.
Num Lock
When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric
(Fn-F11)
mode. The keys function as a calculator (complete with the
arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). Use this mode when
you need to do a lot of numeric data entry. A better
solution would be to connect an external keypad.
Scroll Lock
When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or
(Fn-F12)
down when you press the up or down arrow keys
respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with some
applications.
