System Overview
n
Function keys — Twelve function keys,
F1
through
F12
, are available on the keyboard.
These keys work together with the
Fn
key to activate special functions. Several keys are
pre-programmed with dual functions and some are printed in blue on the key.
Function keys are application-driven. See the specific application’s user guide for
information about how each function key works with the application.
The following function key combinations are pre-programmed for the Versa TXi notebook.
Fn-F2
— toggles Bluetooth power on and off (only in systems with Bluetooth).
Fn-F3
— toggles between four video modes; LCD, CRT, both LCD and CRT, or TV-Out.
Fn-F5
— zooms the screen in or out slightly.
Fn-F6
— sets the speaker beeper volume to full on or mute.
Fn-F7
— functions when the Microsoft Windows
®
operating system is configured for
Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) mode.
Fn-F8
— increases the LCD panel brightness.
Fn-F9
— decreases the LCD panel brightness.
Fn-ScrLck
— toggles the Num lock function.
Fn-Pause
— break.
Fn-Left Ctrl
— simulates pressing the right control key to support IBM
®
327X connections
(not supported in U.S./Canada).
n
Numeric keypad — Pressing NumLk on the keyboard activates the numeric keypad
numbers and functions printed in blue on the keys.
The keypad lets you type numbers and mathematical operands (+, -) as you would on a
calculator. The keypad is ideal for entering long lists of numbers.
When you press NumLk again, the keys revert to their normal functions as typewriter keys.
n
Cursor Control keys — Cursor control keys let you position the cursor on the screen where
you want. On the screen, the cursor is a blinking underline, block, or vertical line depending
on the application. The cursor indicates where the next text typed is inserted.
n
Windows keys — use the following two keys for quick access to shortcut menus and the
Start menu.
Shortcut/Application key – provides quick access to shortcut menus.
(The key acts like a right mouse button.)
Floating Window key – displays the Start menu.
n
Control keys —
Ctrl, Alt, Fn
, and
Shift
are controls used in conjunction with other keys to
change their functions. To use control keys, press and hold the control key while pressing
another key. For example, “press
Ctrl c”
means to hold down the
Ctrl
key and type the letter
c. How the key combination works depends on the application.
n
Typewriter keys — The typewriter keys (also called alphanumeric keys) are used to enter
text and characters. Keys with blue printing on them behave differently when combined
with control keys or the
Fn
key.
