To use the Insignia™ 22-Key Bluetooth Scissor Switch Number Keypad and disable the number pad on your laptop (u, i, o, j, k, l keys) without constantly toggling the number lock, you can follow these steps: 1. Connect the Keypad: Pair the Insignia™ number keypad with your laptop via Bluetooth. Ensure it is connected and functioning properly. 2. Disable Laptop Number Pad: - Windows: You can disable the number pad on your laptop by turning off the Num Lock key. This will prevent the u, i, o, j, k, l keys from acting as a number pad. You can usually do this by pressing the `Fn` key along with the `Num Lock` key (often labeled as `NumLk` or `ScrLk`). - macOS: macOS does not typically use the u, i, o, j, k, l keys as a number pad, so you should be able to use the external keypad without any issues. 3. Switching Between Keyboards: Once the Num Lock is off, you can freely switch between using the Insignia™ number keypad and your laptop keyboard without the need to toggle the Num Lock on and off. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, feel free to ask! Enjoy the convenience of your new number keypad!
