E7470 (25GGG) Question about two FN-keys and odd battery behavior

I haven't been able to figure out what two of the blue function keys do. I browsed all the documentation, including the unabridged manual, but couldn't find a lexicon of any sort. They are the ones under F5 and F6. Both symbolize closed locks. The other one has a number nine in it and the other one a vertical arrow with dual heads. Neither seems to do anything. I thought the first one was a number lock for the integrated keypad, but appears not to be.

My other question regards a battery behavior I encountered just today with my brand new Latitude. I was doing a light web browsing when my system reached a thirty percent battery level. I was under power saving mode in Windows 10 Pro x64. All of a sudden the system turned off. When I plugged the AC charger in and pushed power button, I resumed into Windows logon screen, which suggest the system went into suspended state. I have set the threshold for that much lower. The reason for my worry is that now that I had resumed back to Windows, the battery appeared to be almost completely drained and showed just 2 percent charge left, as it had just a few minutes earlier showed 30 % and several hours of usage left. What I wanted to ask is that is this normal behavior or a sign of something wrong? Could a brand new laptop battery exhibit this erratic behavior? I have 18 hours of usage on the new laptop and not once before has the battery status took a leaps of any sort to either direction.

...Also what does the middle button do between the left and right mouse button above the trackpad? It doesn't seem to do anything no matter where I utilize it.

How come there's not even any official input on this? You would assume most of those question would be easy for staff to answer.
