With the two Windows keys you will be able to access and take advantage of many of the timesaving features of Windows software. The function keys (F1-F12) on the top row of the keyboard, serve different purposes and carry out different tasks depending on the application you are running. The cursor (arrow) keys (which are all located in the lower right corner of your keyboard) and the [PgUp], [PgDn], [Home] and [End] keys (which are located along the right edge of the keyboard) allow you to move the active cursor of the computer to various locations on the screen or within the document. The embedded numeric keypad consists of 15 keys that make number intensive input more convenient. Like the [Num Lock] key, these keys are labeled in blue on the keycaps. Numeric assignments are located at the upper right of each key. When the numeric keypad is engaged, the NumLock icon will appear in the System Window. The keypad is activated by pressing the [Fn] + [NumLk] key. If an external keyboard is connected, pressing the NumLock key on either the Notebook or external keyboard will enable/disable NumLock of both keyboards in unison. To disable the Notebook numeric keypad while keeping the keypad on an external keyboard activated, use the [Fn] + [NumLk] hot key on the Notebook keyboard.
