NOTE:Keyboard characters may differ depending on the keyboard language configuration. Keys that are used for shortcuts remain the same across all language configurations.
Some keys on your keyboard have two symbols on them. These keys can be used to type alternative characters or to perform secondary functions. The symbol that is shown on the lower part of the key refers to the character that is typed out when the key is pressed. If you press
shift and the key, the symbol that is shown on the upper part of the key is typed out. For example, if you press
2,
2 is typed out; if you press
Shift +
2,
@ is typed out.
The top row of the keyboard is a capacitive touch panel. The
fn mechanical key toggles between the keys
F1-F12 and keys for multimedia control. Releasing the
fn key switches back to the previous mode.
Pressing the
fn key and the
esc key locks the "mode" of the capacitive touch panel. If the computer restarts, the default mode is the last mode set by the user before the computer is restarted.
The
fn key is also used with selected keys on the keyboard to invoke other secondary functions.
