Special Keyboard Functions
Colored Hot Keys
The following defines the colored hot keys on the Notebook PC’s keyboard. The colored
commands can only be accessed by first pressing and holding the function key while
pressing a key with a colored command.
LCD/Monitor Icons (F8): Toggles between the Notebook PC’s LCD display and an external
monitor in this series: Notebook PC LCD -> External Monitor -> Both. (This function does
not work in 256 Colors, select High Color in Display Property Settings.) IMPORTANT:
Connect an external monitor before booting up the Notebook PC.
LCD Icon (F7): Toggles the display panel ON and OFF. This also stretches your screen
area (on certain models) to fill the entire display when using low resolution modes.
Open Sun Icon (F6):
Increases the display brightness
Filled Sun Icon (F5):
Decreases the display brightness
“Zz” Icon (F1): Places the Notebook PC in suspend mode (either Save-to-RAM or Save-
to-Disk depending on sleep button setting in power management setup).
“e” Icon (F4): Pressing this button will launch your Internet browser application while
Windows is running.
Envelope Icon (F3): Pressing this button will launch your Email application while Win-
dows is running.
NOTE: The Hot Key locations on the function keys may vary depending on model but the
functions should remain the same. Follow the icons instead of the function keys.
Radio Tower (F2): Wireless Models Only: Toggles the internal wireless LAN or Blue-
tooth (on selected models) ON or OFF with an on-screen-display. When enabled, the cor-
responding wireless indicator will light. Windows software settings are necessary to use
the wireless LAN or Bluetooth.
Speaker Icons (F10):
Toggles the speakers ON and OFF (only in Windows OS)
Crossed-out Touchpad (F9): Toggles the built-in touchpad LOCKED (disabled) and UN-
LOCKED (enabled). Locking the touchpad will prevent you from accidentally moving the
cursor while typing and is best used with an external pointing device such as a mouse. Note:
An indicator between the touchpad buttons will light when the touchpad is UNLOCKED
(enabled) and not light when the touchpad is LOCKED (disabled).
