Basic Functions:

• Typing: Press individual keys to input characters.
• Shift Key: Use with letter keys for uppercase, or with number/symbol keys for alternative symbols.

• Function (Fn) Keys: These keys (F1-F12) often have secondary functions (e.g., volume control, screen brightness, Wi-Fi toggle) when pressed in combination with the 'Fn' key, typically located near the bottom left of the keyboard. Refer to your laptop's specific user manual for detailed Fn key operations.
• Numeric Keypad: If present, activate with 'Num Lock' for number input.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance extends the life of your keyboard and ensures optimal performance.

Cleaning:

• Regular Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution (e.g., isopropyl alcohol) to wipe the keycaps and surrounding areas.
• Dust Removal: Use compressed air to blow out dust and debris from between the keys. Hold the can upright to prevent liquid propellant discharge.
• Avoid Liquids: Do not spray cleaning solutions directly onto the keyboard. Always apply to a cloth first.
