Initiating Sleep

CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of information loss, save your work before initiating Sleep.

Press

fn+f3

to initiate Sleep.

When Sleep is initiated, your information is stored in system memory, the screen is cleared, and
power is conserved. While the computer is in the Sleep state, the power lights blink.

The computer must be on before you can initiate Sleep.

NOTE:

If a critical battery level occurs while the computer is in the Sleep state, the computer

initiates Hibernation and the information stored in memory is saved to the hard drive. The factory
setting for critical battery action is Hibernate, but this setting can be changed using Power Options in
Windows Control Panel.

To exit Sleep, briefly slide the power switch to the right.

The function of the

fn+f3

hotkey can be changed. For example, you can set the

fn+f3

hotkey to initiate

Hibernation instead of Sleep.

NOTE:

In all Windows operating system windows, references to the sleep button apply to the

fn+f3

hotkey.

Switching the screen image

Press

fn+f4

to switch the screen image among display devices connected to the system. For

example, if a monitor is connected to the computer, pressing

fn+f4

alternates the screen image from

computer display to monitor display to simultaneous display on both the computer and the monitor.

Most external monitors receive video information from the computer using the external VGA video
standard. The

fn+f4

hotkey can also alternate images among other devices receiving video

information from the computer.

The following video transmission types, with examples of devices that use them, are supported by the

fn+f4

hotkey:

LCD (computer display)

External VGA (most external monitors)

HDMI (televisions, camcorders, DVD players, VCRs, and video capture cards with HDMI ports)

Composite video (televisions, camcorders, DVD players, VCRs, and video capture cards with
composite-video-in jacks)

NOTE:

Composite video devices can be connected to the system only by using an optional

docking device.

Enabling/disabling the TouchPad

Press

fn+f5

to enable or disable the TouchPad.

Viewing battery charge information

Press

fn+f8

to display charge information for all installed batteries. The display indicates which

batteries are charging and reports the amount of charge remaining in each battery.
