Overlay keys
Keyboard overlay keys
The keys with 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 ten-key keypad on a desktop computer’s keyboard.
Using the numeric keypad overlay
The keys with the numbers on their right front are the
numeric overlay keys.
To turn on the numeric keypad overlay, 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.
