Lock keys and embedded numeric keypad

The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.
Lock key Description
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 mode. The
keys function as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators
<Fn> + <F11>
+, -, *, 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.
Screen Lock Lock the screen when you leave your computer. A password is needed
to unlock the computer.
<Fn> + <F12>
The embedded numeric keypad functions like a desktop numeric keypad. It is
indicated by small characters located on the upper right corner of the keycaps.
To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols are not printed on
the keys.
