Using the keyboard and mouse

The keyboard and mouse allow you to type, select items, scroll and to perform the same functions as

you do by using touch gestures. The keyboard also allows you to use action keys and hot keys to

perform specific functions.

TIP:

The Windows key on the keyboard allows you to quickly return to the Start screen from an

open app or the Desktop. Pressing the Windows key again will return you to the previous screen.

NOTE:

Depending on the country or region, your keyboard may have different keys and keyboard

functions than those discussed in this section.

Using the action keys

An action key performs an assigned function. The icon on each of the

f1

through

f4

keys and

f6

through

f12

keys illustrates the assigned function for that key.

To use an action key function, press and hold the key.

The action key feature is enabled at the factory. You can disable this feature in Setup Utility (BIOS). See

Using Setup Utility (BIOS) and System Diagnostics on page 61

for instructions on opening Setup

Utility (BIOS), and then follow the instructions at the bottom of the screen.

To activate the assigned function after you have disabled the action key feature, you must press the

fn

key in combination with the appropriate action key.

CAUTION:

Use extreme care when making changes in Setup Utility. Errors can prevent the computer

from operating properly.
