Function keys

The function keys (not to be confused with the Fn key) are
the 12 keys at the top of the keyboard.

(Sample Illustration) Function keys

F1 through F12 are called function keys because they
execute programmed functions when pressed. Used in
combination with the Fn key, function keys marked with
icons execute specific functions on the device. For example,
F9 turns the touch pad ON/OFF. For more information, see
“TOSHIBA Function Keys” on page 129.
