Colored Hot Keys

be accessed by first pressing and holding the function key while pressing a key with a colored command.

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 (F1, F5, F6, etc.)

Suspend (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).

area to fill the entire display when using low resolution modes.

LCD/Monitor Icons (F8): Toggles between the Notebook PC’s LCD display and an exter-

nal monitor in this series: Notebook PC LCD -> External Monitor -> Both. (This function

The volume and mute control works during boot, in DOS mode, and Windows mode.

The Windows volume control should be used in addition to the volume dial.

nally connected keyboards.
