The F1-F12 keys at the top of the keyboard are function keys. By default, these keys are used to perform specific functions defined by the software application in use.

You can run the secondary tasks that are indicated by the symbols on the function keys by pressing the function key with Fn, for example, Fn and F1. See the table below for the list of secondary tasks and the key combinations to run them.

The Fn key is also used with selected keys on the keyboard to invoke other secondary functions.

The symbols that are shown at the bottom of these keys are the main characters that are displayed when the key is pressed; the symbols that are shown at the top of these keys are displayed when the key is pressed with the shift key. For example, if you press 2, 2 is displayed; if you press Shift and 2, @ is displayed.
