Using the keyboard
The keyboard and mouse allow you to type select items, scroll and to perform the same functions as
using touch gestures. The keyboard also allows you to use action keys and hot keys to perform
specific functions.
NOTE: Depending on the country or region, your keyboard may have different keys and keyboard
functions than those discussed in this section.
Identifying the hot keys
A hot key is a combination of the fn key (1) and either the esc key (2), or one of the function keys (3).
To use a hot key:
▲ Briefly press the fn key, and then briefly press the second key of the hot key combination.
Hot key combination Description
fn + esc Displays system information.
fn + f2 Turns the TouchPad on and off.
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 press the power button.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of information loss, save your work before initiating Sleep.
fn + f4 Switches the screen image among display devices connected to the system. For example, if a
monitor is connected to the computer via the optional docking device, fn + f4 alternates the screen
image from computer display to monitor display to simultaneous display on both the computer and
the monitor.
Most external monitors receive video information on the computer using the external VGA video
standard. The fn + f4 hot key can also alternate images among other devices that are receiving video
information on the computer.
fn + f6 Decreases speaker volume.
fn + f7 Increases speaker volume.
