Lock Keys
The keyboard has three lock keys which can be toggled on and off.
Lock key
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
<Fn> + <F11> 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.
Scroll Lock When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when the
<Fn> + <F12> up or down arrow keys are pressed respectively. Scroll Lock does not work
with some applications.
