|
| devices that use them, are supported by the fn+f4 hotkey: |
|
| ● LCD (computer display) |
|

Initiate Sleep. | fn+f5 | CAUTION: To reduce the risk of information loss, save your |
|
| work before initiating Sleep. |
|
| When Sleep is initiated, your information is stored in system |
|
| memory, the screen is cleared, and power is conserved. |
|
| While the computer is in the Sleep state, the power lights |
|
| blink. |
|
| The computer must be on before you can initiate Sleep. |
|
| NOTE: If a critical battery level occurs while the computer |
|
| is in the Sleep state, the computer initiates Hibernation and |
|
| the information stored in memory is saved to the hard drive. |
|
| The factory setting for critical battery action is Hibernate, but |
|
| this setting can be changed using Power Options in Windows |
|
| Control Panel. |
|
| To exit Sleep, briefly press the power button. |
|
| The function of the fn+f5 hotkey can be changed. For |
|
| example, you can set the fn+f5 hotkey to initiate Hibernation |
|
| instead of Sleep. |

| NOTE: In all Windows operating system windows, |
|
| references to the sleep button apply to the fn+f5 hotkey. |
