The function of these keys is specific to your particular
software application or operating system.
Status Lamps
The status lamps indicate the status of the Num (Numeric)
Lock, Caps (Capital) Lock, and Scroll Lock keys.
Numeric Keypad/Cursor Control Keys
These keys work like a numeric keypad. In Numeric
Keypad mode, the Num Lock lamp is on.
To use the keys to control the direction of the cursor, press
the Num Lock key (Num Lock lamp goes off). To return to
the Numeric Keypad mode, press the Num Lock key.
To use a keypad cursor key while in Numeric Keypad
mode, press the Shift key and the keypad cursor key.

mode at power-on. You can set the Numeric Keypad
mode off at power-on with the Setup utility (see
Chapter 2).

Lock state (Num Lock lamp is lit) does not affect the
operation of these keys.
