To Start An Application With A Hot Key (Fn+F1 Through Fn+F12) - HP OmniBook 800 User Manual

Hint
If Num Lock is off, you can hold down FN and ALT while you type (on the
keypad keys) the four-digit code of any Windows character. For example,
press FN+ALT+0177 to type "±."
If your keyboard has an ALT GR key to the right of the spacebar, you hold
that key to type the characters printed at the bottom-right corners of keys.
For keys that have four characters, hold SHIFT and ALT GR to type the
upper-right characters.

To start an application with a hot key (FN+F1 through FN+F12)

If an application has been assigned to keys F1 through F12, then it has a
hot-key assignment. A hot key sequence is a shortcut to start a function or
program.
Press and hold FN, and simultaneously press the function key (F1 to
F12) for the assigned application.
Of course, you can always start an application by selecting it in Windows.
The usual Windows methods work for all applications, whether they have hot
key assignments or not.
To use a FN key
FN is the "key" to hot-key assignments. You can easily set up a hot function
key (F1 through F12) for any application present on your OmniBook—then
press FN together with that key to start the application from Windows. The
function keys, labeled F1 through F12, are on the top row of the keyboard.
Their FN functions are shown by small icons above the keys—and you can
print and insert a new icon-label strip that shows other applications you
assign to the FN function keys.

You can use the FN+function-key combination to start an application or
switch to a running application at any time—even if you're working in
another application.
Certain FN+function key combinations are predefined (but redefinable).
They are labeled with symbols above the F1 through F5 keys.
