Using the keyboard
Lock keys and embedded numeric keypad
The keyboard has full-sized keys with an embedded numeric keypad, as well as separate lock, cursor and
Windows keys, and hotkey controls.
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 symbol
are not printed on the keys.
Windows Keys
The keyboard has two keys that perform Windows-specific functions.
Lock Key Description
Caps Lock When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in uppercase.

When Num Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in numeric mode. The keys function
as a calculator (complete with the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /). Use this mode

external keypad.
