Using Your Computer 59
Using the Embedded Numeric Keypad
Most desktop computer keyboards have a numeric keypad in addition to the regular
keyboard keys. Your PowerBook keyboard has a numeric keypad incorporated in the
standard keyboard keys. Keys used for the numeric keypad have a smaller secondary label.
To use the numeric keypad, press the Num Lock key on the keyboard. The light next to the
Num Lock key turns on, indicating that the keypad is active. When you’re finished, press the
Num Lock key again to turn it off.
Note: When the numeric keypad is active, other keys and keyboard equivalents for menu
commands (such as x-Q to quit) are deactivated.
For More Information on Keyboard Controls
Additional information on configuring the keyboard controls is available in Mac Help (see
page 37). Choose Help > Mac Help and search for “keyboard.”
Securing your Computer
Use a locking cable and the built-in security slot to attach your PowerBook to a stationary
object.
Additional information on the software security features of your PowerBook, including
multiple user passwords and file encryption, is available in Mac Help (see page 37). Choose
Help > Mac Help and search for “security” or “multiple users.”
