Using Fn Hot Keys; Table 1-6. Fn Hot Keys - HP 6000 Service Manual

Using Fn Hot Keys

The combination of the Fn key plus another key creates a hot key—a shortcut key sequence—for
various system controls. To use a hot key, press and hold Fn, press the appropriate second key, then
release both keys.
External keyboards support only Fn+F5, Fn+F7, and Fn+F12. To use these, press and hold left
CTRL+left ALT, press the appropriate second key, then release both keys.
