Initiate standby (fn+f3)
Press fn+f3 to initiate standby.
When standby is initiated, your information is stored in random
access memory (RAM), the screen is cleared, and power is
conserved. While the computer is in standby, the power lights
blink.
The computer must be turned on before you initiate standby. If
the computer is in hibernation, you must restore from hibernation
before you can initiate standby.
To resume from standby, briefly press the power button. To
restore from hibernation, briefly press the power button.
The function of the fn+f3 hotkey can be changed. For example,
you can set the fn+f3 hotkey to initiate hibernation instead of
standby. In all Windows operating system windows, references to
the sleep button apply to the fn+f3 hotkey.
Switch the screen image (fn+f4)
Press fn+f4 to switch the screen image amonth display devices
connected to the system. For example, if a monitor is connected
to the computer, each time you press fn+f4, the image switches
among the computer display, the monitor display, and a
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
hotkey can also alternate images among other devices receiving
video information from the computer, such as S-Video.
