The keyboard panel includes the
following features:
Function Keys
Twelve function keys, F1 to F12, are
available on the keyboard. These
keys may provide special functions
with some programs and may be
used with the Fn key (below) to
activate hardware functions.
See the specific program's help files
for information about how each func-
tion key works within the program
you are using.

Numeric Keypad
The keypad lets you type numbers and mathematical operands (+, -) as you would on a
calculator. The keypad is ideal for entering long lists of numbers.
• The Num Lock key toggles between the Numeric and Paragraph mode.
• In Numeric Mode, number keys insert numbers and the point key (.) will insert a point when
typed in a text editor.
• In Paragraph Mode the keys help you browse through a text or other document. The num-
bered keys act like navigational keys.
