Special Keyboard Functions

Colored Hot Keys

The following defines the colored hot keys on the Notebook PC’s keyboard. The colored commands can only
be accessed by first pressing and holding the function key while pressing a key with a colored command.

NOTE: The Hot Key locations on the function keys may vary depending on model but
the functions should remain the same. Follow the icons instead of the function keys.

“Zz” Icon (F1): Places the Notebook PC in suspend mode (either Save-to-RAM or Save-
to-Disk depending on sleep button setting in power management setup).

Radio Tower (F2): Wireless Models Only: Toggles the internal wireless LAN or Bluetooth
(on selected models) ON or OFF with an on-screen-display. When enabled, the
corresponding wireless indicator will light. Windows software settings are necessary to
use the wireless LAN or Bluetooth.

Filled Sun Icon (F5):

area (on certain models) to fill the entire display when using low resolution modes.

LCD/Monitor Icons (F8): Toggles between the Notebook PC’s LCD display and an
external monitor in this series: Notebook PC LCD -> External Monitor -> Both. (This
function does not work in 256 Colors, select High Color in Display Property Settings.)

Envelope Icon (F3): Pressing this button will launch your Email application while Win-
dows is running.

UNLOCKED (enabled) and not light when the touchpad is LOCKED (disabled).
