Hot key
combination Description
fn + esc Displays system information.
fn + f2 Opens the Print Options window of the active Windows program.
fn + f3 Initiates Sleep, which saves your information in system memory. The display and other system
components turn off and power is conserved.
To exit Sleep, briefly slide the power switch.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of information loss, save your work before initiating 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 system memory is saved to the hard drive.
The function of the fn + f3 hot key can be changed. For example, you can set the fn + f3 hot key to
initiate Hibernation instead of Sleep. In all Windows operating system windows, references to the
Sleep button apply to the
fn + f3 hot key.
