3. Getting Started
Microsoft Windows™ Keys
There are two special Windows™ keys on the keyboard as described below.
The key with the Windows™ Logo activates the Start menu located at the bottom left of the
Windows™ desktop.
The other key, which looks like a Windows™ menu with a small cursor, activates the prop-
erties menu and is equivalent to pressing the right mouse button on a Windows™object.
Keyboard as a Numeric Keypad
The numeric keypad is embedded in the keyboard and consists of 15 keys that make number intensive
input more convenient. These dual-purpose keys are labeled in orange on the key caps. Numeric as-
signments are located at the upper right hand corner of each key as shown in the figure. When the
numeric keypad is engaged by pressing
, the number lock LED will light. If an external
keyboard is connected, pressing the
on the external keyboard will enable/disable NumLock on
both keyboards in unison. To disable the Notebook PC’s numeric keypad while keeping the keypad on
an external keyboard activated, press the
keys on the Notebook PC.
