Identifying the hot keys

To use a hot key:

▲Briefly press the fn key, and then briefly press the second key of the hot key combination.

Hot key	Description
combination

fn+esc	Displays system information.

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.
	NOTE: If a critical battery level occurs while the computer is in the Sleep state, the computer
	initiates Hibernation and the information stored in system memory is saved to the hard drive.
	The function of the fn+f3 hot key can be changed. For example, you can set the fn+f3 hot key to
	initiate Hibernation instead of Sleep. In all Windows operating system windows, references to the
	sleep button apply to the fn+f3 hot key.
