Pointing Devices and Keyboard
Using an External Keypad
Most keys on most external keypads function differently
according to whether num lock mode is on or off. For example:
■
When num lock is on, most keypad keys type numbers.
■
When num lock is off, most keypad keys function like the
arrow, page up, or page down keys.
When num lock on an external keypad is turned on, the num
lock light on the notebook is turned on. When num lock on an
external keypad is turned off, the num lock light on the notebook
is turned off.
If the external keypad is connected, the embedded numeric
keypad cannot be turned on.
To turn num lock on or off on an external keypad as you work,
press the
3–14
key on the external keypad, not on the notebook.
