Learning the Basics
Using the keyboard
Overlay keys
The keys with gray numbers and symbols on the front of them
form the numeric and cursor overlay. This overlay lets you enter
numeric data or control the cursor as you would using the 10-key
keypad on a desktop computer’s keyboard.
Numeric and cursor control overlay
Using the overlay to type numeric data
The keys with the numbers on their right front are the numeric
overlay keys.
To turn the numeric overlay on, press
Fn and F11 simultaneously.
The numeric mode light on the keyboard indicator panel glows
when the numeric overlay is on.
You can still use the overlay keys to type alphabetic characters
while the numeric overlay is on. To do so:
❖ For lowercase letters, hold down Fn while you type the letters.
❖ For uppercase letters, hold down both Fn and Shift while you
type the letters.
