Using Your Computer 55
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 and programmable function
keys is available in Mac Help (see page 36). Choose Mac Help from the Help menu and
search for “keyboard.”
