monitor is connected to the computer, pressing f2 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. Pressing
f2 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
f2 key:
● LCD (computer display)
● External VGA (most external monitors)

When Standby 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.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of information loss, save your work before initiating Standby.
The computer must be on before you can initiate Standby.

The function of the f5 key can be changed. For example, you can set the f5 key to initiate Hibernation
