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 <Fn> When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric
+ <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 down
<Fn> + <F12> when you press the up or down arrow keys respectively. Scroll
Lock does not work with some applications.
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.
