I do not understand your problem. On keyboards with the Fn key, just
pressing the key does nothing. The Fn is intended to be pressed in
combination with another key to access an additional function of the second
key. For example, on my Sony keyboard the arrow keys have additional
functions {such as end and home}. Pressing Fn+left arrow is the End
function for which keyboards with more keys have a separate End key.

Perhaps more information.
