Display Hot Key Sequences (All Extensa Models)

The display mode of operation (LCD only, Simultaneous LCD and external CRT and
external CRT only modes) is keyboard-selectable using the following hot key sequences.

Fn-Up Arrow and Fn-Down Arrow - control LCD screen brightness (higher
brightness setting uses more battery energy)

Fn-Right Arrow - lightens the LCD screen contrast

Fn-Left Arrow - darkens the LCD screen contrast

Fn-F12 - alternates between display modes (LCD, External CRT or both)

Fn-F11 - turns off the LCD backlight; pressing any key turns the LCD
backlight on.

Note: In addition to the hot keys that control the notebook display functions,
there are several other hot key functions that control other notebook functions
such as turning the Touchpad on/off, etc. For these sequences, refer to
Section 3.
