Initiate Standby (Fn+F3)
The
Fn+F3
hotkeys are set at the factory to initiate Standby.
■
When the notebook is on, press the
Fn+F3
hotkeys to
initiate
Standby. When Standby is initiated, your work is saved in
random access memory (RAM), the screen is cleared, and
power is conserved. While the notebook is in Standby, the
power/standby light blinks.
■
To exit Standby, briefly press the power button.
The function of the
Fn+F3
hotkeys, called the “sleep button” in
Windows, can be changed. For example, the
Fn+F3
hotkeys can be
set to initiate Hibernation instead of Standby. For more
information about Standby, Hibernation, and changing the
function of the
Fn+F3
hotkeys, see the
Software Guide,
Chapter 1,
“Power Management,” on this CD.
Switch Display and Image (Fn+F4)
The
Fn+F4
hotkeys switch the image among display devices
connected to the notebook. For example, if an external monitor
is connected to the notebook, pressing
Fn+F4
switches the image
among the notebook display, the external monitor display, and a
simultaneous display on both the notebook and the external
monitor.
Most external monitors receive video information from the
notebook using the external VGA video standard. The
Fn+F4
hotkeys also switch images among devices receiving video
information from the notebook in other ways. The following
video transmission types, with examples of devices that use them,
are supported by the
Fn+F4
hotkeys:
■
LCD (notebook display)
■
External VGA (most external monitors)
■
S-video (televisions, camcorders, VCRs, and video capture
boards with S-video-in jacks)
