Using the Function key
The Function key enables you to access the secondary character or feature set
from each of the keys. The secondary character and feature set is labeled in blue in
the upper right on each available key.
When you press Function , a dot appears in the lower-right corner, indicating
that the next key pressed will use the secondary character or feature set. If you
press the Function twice, the dot changes to a “1” and the function feature
remains locked. Pressing Function again unlocks it.

keys. The following keys have special features:
