Using the keyboard

Identifying the hot keys

A hot key is a combination of the fn key and either the esc key or one of the function keys.

To use a hot key:

▲

Briefly press the fn key, and then briefly press the second key of the hot key combination.

Hot key combination Description

fn+esc Displays system information.

fn+f2 Launches HP Power Assistant. Displays charge information for all installed batteries. The display

indicates which batteries are charging and reports the amount of charge remaining in each battery.

fn+f3 Initiates Sleep, which saves your information in system memory. The display and other system

components turn off and power is conserved.

To exit Sleep, briefly press the power button.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of information loss, save your work before initiating Sleep.

NOTE: If a critical battery level occurs while the computer is in the Sleep state, the computer

initiates Hibernation and the information stored in system memory is saved to the hard drive.

The function of the fn+f3 hot key can be changed. For example, you can set the fn+f3 hot key to

initiate Hibernation instead of Sleep. In all Windows operating system windows, references to the

sleep button apply to the fn+f3 hot key.

fn+f4 Switches the screen image among display devices connected to the system. For example, if a

monitor is connected to the computer, fn+f4 alternates the screen image from computer display to

monitor display to simultaneous display on both the computer and the monitor.

Most external monitors receive video information from the computer using the external VGA video

standard. The fn+f4 hot key can also alternate images among other devices that are receiving video

information from the computer.

fn+ f6 Decreases speaker volume.

fn+f7 Increases speaker volume.

fn+f8 Mutes or restores microphone input.

fn+f9 Decreases the screen brightness level.
