How to activate the numerical "keypad" and other accessary key pads (marked in blue) on a Gateway Laptop?

My Gateway Laptop has an "Fn" key highlighted in blue in the lower left of the key pad. When I use it (press down on it) and use another of the accesroy (in blue) keys - eg. screen brightness / screen dimmness - nothing happens.

What is the procedure? What else might I be doing that I am not?

It seem this should be a simple process...so I figure I am missing something.

Serious and fairly simple answers only!

Thanks!

Well that is what I was going to tell you to do....You may want to get that checked out...there could be a defect! Because that is what you were to do.
