• Most of the Fn key combinations do not work with the ThinkPad SL series notebook computers, Lenovo
desktop computers, and computers from other manufacturers.
• Some Fn key combinations have different functions on different ThinkPad computer models.
• On the Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 operating systems, when you press Fn+Esc, hotkey
F4, or the CapsLock key for the first time, an On Screen Display window might be displayed. If you
want to show the on screen display, click OK. If you do not want to show the on screen display, click
No, thank you. To change the on screen display setting, click the External Keyboard tab in the Mouse
Property window, select On Screen Displays. When the box before On Screen Displays is in grey, it
means that the USB keyboard follows the system default setting, you can change the system setting
by clicking Advanced OSD setting.
