Using Hotkey Commands
Initiating Standby (fn+f3)
When the tablet PC is on, press the
fn+f3
hotkey 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 tablet PC is in standby, the power lights
blink.
To exit standby, slide the power switch toward the front of the
tablet PC.
The
fn+f3
hotkey is set at the factory to initiate standby. The
function of the
fn+f3
hotkey, called the “sleep button” in
Windows, can be changed. For example, the
fn+f3
hotkey can
be set to initiate hibernation instead of standby. For more
information about standby, hibernation, and changing the
function of the
fn+f3
hotkey, refer to
Chapter 2, “Power.”
Switching Displays (fn+f4)
The
fn+f4
hotkey switches the image among display devices
connected to the external monitor port or the S-Video-out jack on
the tablet PC. For example, if an external monitor is connected to
the tablet PC, pressing the
fn+f4
hotkey multiple times toggles the
image between the tablet PC display, the external monitor display,
and a simultaneous display on both the tablet PC and the monitor.
Most external monitors receive video information from the tablet
PC using the external VGA video standard. The
fn+f4
hotkey can
also toggle images among other devices receiving video
information from the tablet PC.
