Num Pad, or, as it is also called, the right (numeric) keyboard is undoubtedly very convenient to use. It often happens that for laptops containing shortened versions of input devices, they buy a separate numeric keypad, which is connected using a USB interface.
Instructions
Step 1
If you have a regular full keyboard, then to enable the Num Pad, use the NumLock key, which is located in the upper right corner. Usually, when the operating mode is activated, the corresponding LED lights up, if any.
Step 2
If you need to enable a removable numeric keypad that works over USB, plug it into the corresponding port on the motherboard of your computer or laptop. Install the device driver, if available. If not, use the Add New Hardware Wizard in Computer Control Panel.
Step 3
Search for new devices connected to your computer. Find your NumPad keyboard in the list, select the driver installation from the Internet, allow the wizard to connect to the network and install the software. Please note that not all keyboards require driver installation for correct operation, sometimes a simple inclusion is enough. Everything here may depend on the model of the computer and the installed operating system, as well as on the type of the input device itself.
Step 4
Turn on the device by pressing the corresponding button on the case, if there is one. If not, then just press NumLock.
Step 5
If you want to enable the Num Pad to work on a short keyboard, please make sure it is supported. Usually, in this case, numbers are also written on the keys on the right next to the letters. This mode is started by simultaneously pressing Fn + NumLk. In this case, the corresponding icon should appear on the monitor screen.
Step 6
If none of the above helps, contact your service center as it is possible that your keyboard is damaged. First, check the correctness of the connection of the wires and their safety.
