NOTE: The Hot Key locations on the function keys may vary depending on model but the functions should remain the same.

“Zz” Icon (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).

Radio Tower (F2): Wireless Models Only: Toggles the internal wireless LAN ON or OFF with an on-screen-display. When enabled, the corresponding wireless indicator will light. Windows software settings are necessary to use the wireless LAN.

Envelope Icon (F3): Pressing this button will launch your Email application while Windows is running.

the screen 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 external

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