> Fn hot keys on an external keyboard
> hibernate mode

You can find additional current information about your computer on the HP notebook Web site,
www.hp.com/notebooks.
Default infrared mode
In the BIOS Setup utility, infrared (IR) communication is by default disabled. When you enable IR
communication, the IR mode selected by default is FIR (Fast Infrared).
Fn hot keys on an external keyboard
When using combination hot keys (shortcut key sequences) on an external keyboard— which is
equivalent to using the Fn key on the HP notebook keyboard--use the Ctrl and Alt keys on the left
side of the external keyboard.
Hibernate mode
Hibernate mode occurs automatically when battery power reaches a critically low level. It is
possible to change the battery power settings, however, HP does not recommend that you change
the defaults. Changing the default values could cause your unit to not suspend properly and could
result in loss of data.
Using Enhanced Video and Dual Monitors
Standard video drivers are installed on your Notebook for various settings of screen area and
colors, as well as for screen zoom capabilities.
To use two monitors in dual mode
You can use two monitors with your Notebook, either in dual mode, effectively expanding your screen real
estate, or in simultaneous mode, displaying the same screen twice.
The LCD monitor that is part of the Notebook is the primary display (Monitor 1), and a second CRT
monitor attached to the rear video port is the secondary display (Monitor 2). You can also switch from one
monitor to the other (using only one at a time) by pressing Fn+F12.
To enable the dual monitor for a 14 inch display.
1. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel.
