Function keys
Your notebook features a full-size keyboard that
functions the same as a desktop computer
keyboard. Many of the keys have been assigned
alternate functions, including shortcut keys for
Windows, function keys for specific system
operations, and the Num Lock keys for the
numeric keypad.
Function keys/ System keys
The keyboard has several different types of keys.
Some keys perform specific actions when
pressed alone and other actions when pressed in
combination with another key.
Icon Description
Press these keys labeled F1 to F12 to
perform actions in programs. For example,
pressing F1 may open help.
Each program uses different function keys
for different purposes. See the program
documentation to find out more about the
function key actions.
