Why do i have to hold down function key to type uiopjkl;m/. If I don't hold down the function key these keys are 456*123-0.+

Most PCs has number lock on by default. You have to get into the BIOS to turn it off. When the PC boots on, watch for which key to press to get into BIOS. Then go through the menu to turn off number lock. After that, you still can number lock by hitting fn and num-lck keys. It is will not be on by default. Good luck.

Sounds like you have NumLk turned on (check for the blue light in the upper right over the digit 1 next to the CapsLk light). Use Fn-NumLk to toggle it.

You have to hold down Function and then Press Numlk to turn off the numbers lock (blue led over 1 on right top panel)

Are any of the three LED in the upper right corner of the keyboard lit? Sometimes when it boots one of the locks defaults to on and you have to shut it off. It might be SysRq which you disable holding the function key.

Solution: borrow another keyboard and install it (probably no need for software). Use ITS number lock to change the status of your num lock software. You can then uninstall it or leave it for future such problems.I note that I also have no blue light to show the num lk function, but my alternate keyboard is already in action.

you "press" shift and then 2 (for @). Once you touch the shift button, the key stay pressed until you press the next key. So it's not necesary to press the two keys at once, like on "real" keyboards

There is an FN key, but it does not look like function keys. I don't know if there is a way to use other keys for this purpose, but it it is not indicated on the keyboard.

It sounds like the Microsoft keyboard software got installed or upgraded. The F Lock button will resolve this issue, but you have to do that every time you restart the keyboard. The permanent fix is to install the MS keyboard software and then re-assign each function key from the default action back to the Function action as a Macro. Example: F1 becomes help and F2 becomes undo. Most of these functions still work within popular applications when they are functions keys.You have to do the same thing with newer laptops regarding the top row of keys.

No idea. I stopped using it very soon after getting it as it was way too frustrating and pointless. I've found it easier to just use the digital keyboard on the phone.

Hold down the "fn" key (bottom left next to the control key) and the "home" (top right third key in from the "end" key) You will see "num lk" right below the word "home" Hope this helps! Good Luck

I do not do texting so I cannot answer your questions. However, the keys on the keyboard are closely spaced so keying in info is a problem as wrong characters get keyed in and one has to constantly keep correcting them. If you are very careful while keying in the info, then this is less of a problem.

The Macally USB 2.0 Slim actually has 18 function keys, plus an extra Fn key which actually doubles these keys to 36, instead of the 12 on the standard Apple Keyboard. All of the standard apple Keyboard function Key shortcuts exist on this keyboard plus several I am glad to see (screen captures to name two). But they are not all on the same F key. (F1-F4 for example are Quit App, cut, copy, paste on the Macally keyboard) However like with the standard Apple Keyboards (mine have increase brightness as F2 by the way) they can be custom configured in Keyboard Shortcuts on your System Preferences. I acquired it when the MB110LL/A full size Apple USB keyboard I had been using on my Mini started missing keystrokes. And have had no issues with it, although the feel is a bit of a change being heavier duty than the Apple Keyboard. Hope this helps.

the letters are in standard qwerty but the numbers are not standard if i recall...(i returned the keyboard as some of the keys stopped working)..some of the numbers use the same key as letters to compensate for its small size. Even though its qwerty its almost impossible to type in a traditional way...i had to type one finger at a time because its so small.

Sorry to interrupt as i am not the original asker >_< May i know if you have to reposition the cell using your keyboard arrows after scanning one barcode? Or does it automatically jump to the next(down or right) cell? Thanks in advance !:D

There's isn't an fn key like on other keyboards. Instead there is a little switch in the top right that accomplishes the fn key's purpose. It switches between multimedia (volume, play, etc.) and the typical F keys. With the keyboard switched to multimedia keys, everything seems to work fine with OS X as far as I've tried. Also, once you remap Command and Option to be swapped in Keyboard preferences, it's just like an Apple keyboard. I'm quite happy with it.

Yes, at least as to the Windows application alt codes (I use them only in applications such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook). When I tried just now to type in a special character in this response box in my browser window, nothing happened. But I just typed this in Word and copied/pasted here: (alt+0225 = ; alt+0233 = ; alt+0241 = ; alt+0232 = ). And IT ONLY WORKS IF THE NUM LOCK KEY IS ON - that's critical. So I guess my answer is "yes depending on what application you're using so if it doesn't work it's probably not the fault of the numeric keypad." Hope this helps!

hold down the function key - third from left, bottom row - and hit the num lock key at the top right

It's probably 0000. I never needed to use a Pass Key but if it's asking for one I would thing that is it being that is usually the default number.
