Standard function key mode
Press the “Fn” and “Esc” keys simultaneously to switch to standard F1-F15 function key mode. Fn Lock LED will turn On. When you want to switch back to shortcut key mode, press the “Fn” and “Esc” keys simultaneously. Fn Lock LED will turn off.

function key mode and vice versa, press the “Fn” key with one of the top row
keys simultaneously. For instance, when you are in shortcut key mode and you
press the F11
key, volume will increase, but when you press the “Fn” and “F11” keys
simultaneously, you will activate “Show Desktop” in Mission Control.
