An action key performs an assigned function. The icon on each of the f1 through f4 keys, the f5 key (select models only), and f6 through f12 keys illustrates the assigned function for that key.

To use an action key function, press and hold the key.

The action key feature is enabled at the factory. You can disable this feature in Setup Utility (BIOS). See Using Setup Utility (BIOS) and System Diagnostics on page 57 for instructions on opening Setup Utility (BIOS), and then follow the instructions at the bottom of the screen.

To activate the assigned function after disabling the action key feature, you must press the fn key in combination with the appropriate action key.
