Using the PC Hardware
Keyboard
The keyboard has an arrangement of standard keys and special buttons. Alphanumeric keys are the main keys found on a standard typewriter.
B
A
Function keys are the F1 through F12 keys located above the main keys. Other function key operations may depend on the software program you are using.
C
Arrow keys are controls for up, down, right and left. You can use these keys instead of the mouse to move the cursor in a Web site, in a document, or in a game.
D
Numeric keys are locked when the Num Lock LED (light-emitting diode) on the keyboard is lit.
When locked, the numeric keys are the number keys and arithmetic function keys found on a basic calculator. When the Num Lock LED on the keyboard is off, the numeric keys are directional keys used during games or to move the cursor.
Special buttons are at the top of the keyboard. These buttons operate the CD or DVD player, connect you to the Internet, or provide quick access to specific functions. See "Keyboard Functions" for descriptions of these buttons.
