5. Operating Instructions
Basic Numeric Input:
Simply press the desired numeric keys (0-9) and arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /) to input data into your applications. The Enter key functions as a standard return key.
Num Lock Function:
The Num Lock key toggles the numeric function of the keys. When Num Lock is active (indicated by an LED light, if present), the keys function as numbers. When Num Lock is off, some keys may function as navigation keys (e.g., Home, End, PgUp, PgDn, Ins, Del).
Asynchronous Operation:
This keypad operates asynchronously, meaning its Num Lock status is independent of your main keyboard's Num Lock. This allows you to use the numeric keypad for numbers while your main keyboard's numeric section (if applicable) can be used for navigation, or vice-versa, providing greater flexibility for data entry.
Special Keys:
- Home / 7: Moves the cursor to the beginning of a line or document when Num Lock is off.
- PgUp / 9: Scrolls up one page when Num Lock is off.
- End / 1: Moves the cursor to the end of a line or document when Num Lock is off.
- Ins / 0: Toggles insert mode when Num Lock is off.
- Del / .: Deletes characters when Num Lock is off.
- Backspace: Deletes the character to the left of the cursor.
- Enter: Confirms input or moves to the next line.
