Hot Keys and Keyboard Controls

One of the most convenient features of the SA200 is its host of
keyboard controls. You can change many laptop settings simply by
pressing a combination of keys. Hot key refers to the key or key
combination you use to activate a control.

Some hot keys implement permanent settings. These settings are
retained in your laptop’s non-volatile memory even when you turn
your laptop off. Hot key

> (Increase Contrast), for

example, is a permanent setting. If you press

> to increase

your display’s contrast, your laptop retains this setting (even when
you turn the computer off) until you change this setting again.

Other hot keys implement temporary settings. These settings are
not retained when you turn your laptop off and affect only your
current laptop session. NumLk (numeric keypad control)
, for example, is a temporary setting.
