Keyboard Keys

Turbo

Pressing the Fn-F5 (Turbo) keys increases the CPU processing speed to 20 MHz. When
the Turbo feature is off, the CPU runs at 8 or 10 MHz. The Turbo feature uses more
battery power but provides faster processing.

When you turn on the Turbo feature, the Turbo indicator light comes on. You also can
change CPU speed using the speed control keys described below and in the Setup Program
described in Chapter 4.

Speed Control Keys

Pressing the Ctrl-Alt-

keys increases the CPU processing speed in the range of 8, 10,

and 20 MHz, and the computer sounds low, medium, and high frequency tones. Pressing
the Ctrl-Alt-

keys decreases CPU speed.

Palette Control Keys

Pressing the Fn-Alt-Esc keys toggles the LCD display through six different gray scale
palette configurations. You also can adjust the gray scale (and color if an external color
monitor is connected to your TravelMate 3000) using the RPAL and PAL utilities
supplied with your computer. See your BatteryPro & Productivity Software User's
Manual
for more details.
