Lock key Description
Caps Lock When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in
uppercase.
Pad Lock When Pad Lock is on, the embedded keypad is enabled. In
(Fn-F10) this mode the keypad is cursor function.
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.

Lock does not work with some applications.
