Hotkey combination | Description |
|
|
fn+f1 | Initiates Suspend, which saves your information in system memory. The display and other system |
| components turn off and power is conserved. |
| To exit Suspend, briefly press the power button. |
| CAUTION: To reduce the risk of information loss, save your work before initiating Suspend. |
| NOTE: If a critical battery level occurs while the computer is in the Suspend state, the computer |
| initiates Hibernation and the information stored in memory is saved to the hard drive. |
| The function of the fn+f1 hotkey can be changed. For example, you can set the fn+f1 hotkey to |
| initiate Hibernation instead of Suspend. |
|
|
fn+f2 | Decreases the screen brightness level. |
|
|
fn+f3 | Increases the screen brightness level. |
|
|
fn+f4 | Switches the screen image among display devices connected to the system. For example, if a |
| monitor is connected to the computer, 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 that are receiving video |
| information from the computer. |
|
|
fn+f5 | Initiates the QuickLock security feature. QuickLock protects your information by displaying the |
| operating system Log On window. While the Log On window is displayed, the computer cannot be |
| accessed until a user password or an administrator password is entered. |
| NOTE: Before you can use QuickLock, you must set a user password or an administrator |
| password. |
