Switching Key Functions on the Internal Keypad
You can temporarily switch the functions of keys on the internal
keypad between their standard keyboard functions and their
keypad functions by using the
Fn key or the Fn+shift key
combination.
■ To change the functions of a keypad key to keypad functions
while the keypad is off, press and hold the
Fn key while
pressing a keypad key.
■ To use the keypad keys temporarily as standard keys while
the keypad is on:
❏ Press and hold the Fn key to type in lowercase.
❏ Press and hold Fn+shift to type in uppercase.
Using an External Keypad
Most keys on most external keypads function differently when
num lock mode is on than when num lock mode is off. For
example:
■ When num lock mode is on, most keypad keys type numbers.
■ When num lock mode is off, most keypad keys function like
arrow, page up, or page down keys.
When num lock mode on an external keypad is turned on, the
num lock light on the notebook turns on. When the num lock
mode on an external keypad is turned off, the num lock light on
the notebook turns off.
