Opening a Web browser (fn+f3)

Until you have set up your Internet or network services, the fn+f3 hotkey opens the Windows Internet Connection Wizard.

After you have set up your Internet or network services and your Web browser home page, you can press fn+f3 to quickly access your home page and the Internet.

Switching the screen image (fn+f4)

Press fn+f4 to switch the screen image among display devices connected to the system. For example, if a monitor is connected to the computer, pressing fn+f4 alternates the screen image from computer display to monitor display to simultaneous display on both the computer and the monitor.

Most external monitors receive video information from the computer using the external VGA video standard. The fn+f4 hotkey can also alternate images among other devices receiving video information from the computer.

The following video transmission types, with examples of devices that use them, are supported by the fn+f4 hotkey:

●LCD (computer display)

●External VGA (most external monitors)

●HDMI (televisions, camcorders, DVD players, VCRs, and video capture cards with HDMI ports)

Initiating Sleep (fn+f5)

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of information loss, save your work before initiating Sleep.

Press fn+f5 to initiate 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.
