To use the function keys, press and hold the [fn] key and hit the Fx key (f1 ... f12) of your choice

f1: Mute speaker
f2: Turn the speaker volume down
f3: Turn the speaker volume up
f4: Rewind/previous media playing
f5: Play, stop/pause media playing
f6: Next media playing
f7: Decrease the screen brightness or contrast
f8: Increase the screen brightness or contrast
f9: Open print dialog
f10: (Could be) Turn on the webcam or lock screen
f11: Open (windows) settings
f12: Activate an external monitor for giving a presentation

( a vga/hdmi cable should be connected and external monitor turned on )

Just google for things like that:

I didn't find any manual about your keyboard.

 

Please send a good picture of the keyboard and I will try to explain.

This is very helpful. Now I am trying to determine how to take a screen shot or execute print screen.

From left to right:

- Search ( same like [STRG] + f or windows search )

- Copy or context menu

- Scroll lock ( when using browser to deactivate scrolling )

- Pause (could be useful in command window), I don't know, try it out.

- Clear (could be useful in command window), I don't know, try it out.

- Resize windows

- Minimize ? I don't know, try it out.

- Open windows notification ? I don't know, try it out.

- Lock (screen)
