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.

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).

Sun Down Icon (F5):

Decreases the display brightness

Sun Up Icon (F6):

Increases the display brightness

LCD Icon (F7): Toggles the display panel ON and OFF. (On certain models; stretch-

es the screen area 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: LCD Only -> CRT Only (External

Monitor) -> LCD + CRT Clone -> LCD + CRT Extend. (This function does

not work in 256 Colors, select High Color in Display Property Settings.)

NOTE: Must connect an external monitor “before” booting up.

Getting Started

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.

Crossed-out Touchpad (F9): Toggles the built-in touchpad LOCKED (disabled) and

UNLOCKED (enabled). Locking the touchpad will prevent you from accidentally

moving the pointer while typing and is best used with an external pointing device such

as a mouse.

NOTE: Selected models have an indicator between the touchpad buttons which will

light when the touchpad is UNLOCKED (enabled) and not light when the touchpad

is LOCKED (disabled).
