I need a manual for my HP usb Keyboard PN: M54851-001 with CT: BLVWUOBTJHROL1

[Danny372]

I need the operations instruction (PDF) for my keyboard. I read from the Readers Guide "navigating the screen; page 25-27," the description for the action and hot keys for some of the 22 keys on the top row.  All key actions aren't described and there isn't an identical match. Thank You

@Danny372,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a publicly available user manual specifically for the HP USB Keyboard (PN: M54851-001). However, I can provide some useful information:

Function Keys (F1-F12) on HP Keyboards

Most HP keyboards, including yours, follow a standard function key layout with additional shortcuts when used with the Fn key (if applicable). Here’s a general breakdown:

• F1 – Opens Help (in most applications)
• F2 – Rename selected file or folder (Windows)
• F3 – Search (in File Explorer and browsers)
• F4 – Address bar focus (Windows Explorer, browsers)
• F5 – Refreshes the page (browsers, File Explorer)
• F6 – Cycle through screen elements (browser/Windows)
• F7 – Caret browsing mode (text navigation in browsers)
• F8 – Boot menu (during startup on some PCs)
• F9 – Varies; may adjust brightness on some HP models
• F10 – Activates menu bar in some applications
• F11 – Full-screen mode (browsers, some apps)
• F12 – Opens Developer Tools (Chrome, Edge)

On many HP keyboards, media controls or system shortcuts (e.g., volume, brightness, WiFi toggle, etc.) are assigned to F1-F12 and may require holding down the Fn key to access their standard functions. If your keyboard has an Fn Lock feature, you can toggle between the two modes.

Finding More Information:

While there isn’t a specific manual for this keyboard, you might find the HP USB Keyboard User Guide helpful, as it covers similar models.

If you’re looking for a particular function or having issues with certain keys, feel free to provide more details, and I’d be happy to help further! 😊

Kind Regards,
