TMa550.book Page 15 Wednesday, October 3, 2001 10:57 AM 15 Keyboard The keyboard has full-sized keys with an embedded keypad, separate cursor keys, two Windows keys and twelve function keys. Special keys Lock keys The keyboard has four lock keys which you can toggle on and off. Lock Key Caps lock Pad lock (Fn-F10) Num lock (Fn-F11) Scroll lock (Fn-F12) Description When Caps Lock is on, all alphabetic characters typed are in uppercase. When Pad Lock is on, the embedded keypad is in cursor mode. The keys function as a directional keypad including Insert and Delete keys. 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 when you need to do a lot of numeric data entry. A better solution would be to connect an external keypad. See "External keyboard" on page 40. When Scroll Lock is on, the screen moves one line up or down when you press ↑ or ↓ respectively. Scroll Lock does not work with some applications.
