Function keys:
The keys labeled [F1] through [F12], are used in conjunction with the [Fn] key to produce
special actions that vary depending on what program is running.
•
Windows keys:
These keys work with your Windows operating system. These keys switch between desktop and
Modern Start screen modes and open the Application bar on the bottom of the screen.
Numeric Keypad
The right-hand section of the keyboard serves as a numeric keypad. To activate the keypad functions, press the
[NumLk] button. Using the keypad keys, you can enter numerals 0 through 9, perform addition ( + ), subtraction
( - ), multiplication ( * ), or division ( / ), and enter decimal points ( . ) using the keys designated as numeric function
key keys. When [NumLk] is not active, you can use the numeric keypad to navigate (Del, Ins, left, right, up, down).
Windows Keys
Your LIFEBOOK notebook has two Windows keys, consisting of a Windows key and an Application key. The Windows
key switches between the Modern Start screen and desktop. This button functions the same as your onscreen Start
menu button. The Application key opens the Application bar located at the bottom of the screen. (Please refer to your
Windows documentation for additional information regarding the Windows keys.)
Cursor Keys
The cursor keys are the four arrow keys on the keyboard which allow you to move the cursor up, down, left and right
in applications. In programs such as Windows/File Explorer, it moves the “focus” (selects the next item up, down, left,
or right).
Function Keys
Your LIFEBOOK notebook has 12 function keys, F1 through F12. The functions assigned to these keys differ for each
application. You should refer to your software documentation to find out how these keys are used.
