Using Hotkeys
Hotkeys are preset combinations of the Fn key plus a second key
that access or execute frequently used system functions. The icons
on the function keys
F1-F10 represent these functions.
■ To use hotkeys on an external keyboard, which does not
have an
Fn key, press the Scroll Lock key twice, then the second
key only of the hotkeys combination. For example, to use the
Fn+F10 hotkeys, press Scroll Lock+Scroll Lock+F10.
NOTE: The Fn+F6 hotkeys cannot be used on an external
keyboard connected through a USB connector.
■ To close a window opened with hotkeys, use standard
Windows procedures or press the hotkeys again.
