Keyboard shortcuts

NOTE: Keyboard characters may differ depending on the keyboard language

configuration. Keys used for shortcuts remain the same across all language

configurations.

Some keys on your keyboard have two symbols on them. These keys can be used to

type alternate characters or to perform secondary functions. The symbol shown on

the lower part of the key refers to the character that is typed out when the key is

pressed. If you press shift and the key, the symbol shown on the upper part of the

key is typed out. For example, if you press 2, 2 is typed out; if you press Shift + 2, @

is typed out.

The keys F1-F12 at the top row of the keyboard are function keys for multi-media

control, as indicated by the icon at the bottom of the key. Press the function key to

invoke the task represented by the icon. For example, pressing F1 mutes the audio

(refer to the table below).

However, if the function keys F1-F12 are needed for specific software applications,

multi-media functionality can be disabled by pressing Fn + Esc. Subsequently, multi-

media control can be invoked by pressing Fn and the respective function key. For

example, mute audio by pressing Fn + F1.

NOTE: You can also define the primary behavior of the function keys (F1–

F12) by changing Function Key Behavior in BIOS setup program.
