Using the keyboard

The keyboard has full-sized keys and an embedded keypad, separate cursor keys, two Windows keys and
twelve function keys.

Lock keys and embedded numeric keypad

The keyboard has three lock keys which you can toggle on and off.

Lock key Description

Caps Lock

@

Num Lock <Fn>+<F11>

]

Scroll Lock <Fn>+<F12>

[

When @is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in uppercase.

When ] is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric 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.

When [ is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you press the up

or down arrow keys respectively.

[ 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. To simplify the keyboard legend, cursor-control key symbols
are not printed on the keys.

Touchpad

The built-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface. This means the cursor
responds as you move your finger on the surface of the touchpad. The central location on the palmrest
provides optimum comfort and suuport.

Touchpad basics

The following items teach you how to use the touchpad:

* Move your finger across the touchpad (2) to move the cursor.

* Press the left (1) and right (4) buttons located on the edge of the touchpad to do selection and execution
functions. These two buttons are similar to the left and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the touchapd is
the same as clicking the left button.

* Use the 4-way scroll (3) button to scroll up or down and move left or right a page. This button mimics your
cursor pressing on the right scroll bar of Windows applications.

harder will not increase the touchpad’s responsiveness.
