Using the TouchPad

To move the pointer, slide your finger across the TouchPad

surface in the direction you want the pointer to go. Use the

left and right TouchPad buttons as you would the left and right

buttons on an external mouse. To scroll up and down using the

TouchPad vertical scroll area, slide your finger up or down over

the white lines.

Using an External Mouse

An external USB mouse can be connected to the notebook using

one of the ports on the left or back side of the notebook. An

external serial mouse, external PS/2 mouse, or USB mouse can be

connected to the system using the connectors on an optional

docking device (select models only).

2Left TouchPad button* Functions like the left button on an

external mouse.

Setting TouchPad Preferences

Mouse Properties in Microsoft® Windows® enables you to

customize settings for pointing devices, including:

■TouchPad tapping, which enables you to tap the TouchPad

once to select an object or twice to double-click an object

(enabled by default).

■Edge motion, which enables you to continue to scroll even

though your finger has reached the edge of the TouchPad

(disabled by default).

Other features, such as mouse speed preferences and mouse trails,

are also found in the Mouse Properties window.

To access Mouse Properties:

»Select Start > Control Panel > Printers and Other

Hardware > Mouse icon.

Hotkey Quick Reference

Initiating Standby (fn+f3)

When the notebook 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 notebook is in standby, the power/standby

lights blink.

To exit standby:

»Press the power/standby button.

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.

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

(select models only) on the notebook. For example, if an external

monitor is connected to the notebook, pressing the fn+f4 hotkey

multiple times alternates the image between the notebook display,

the external monitor display, and a simultaneous display on both

the notebook and the monitor.

Most external monitors receive video information from the

notebook using the external VGA video standard. The fn+f4

hotkey can also alternate images among other devices receiving

video information from the notebook.

The following 4 video transmission types, with examples of

devices that use them, are supported by the fn+f4 hotkey:

■LCD (notebook display)

■External VGA (most external monitors)

■S-Video (televisions, camcorders, VCRs, and video capture

boards with S-Video-in jacks, on select models)

■Composite video (televisions, camcorders, VCRs, and video

capture boards with composite-video–in jacks) when

connected to an optional docking device (select models only)

Muting System Sound (fn+f5)

Press fn+f5 to mute the system sound. Press fn+f5 again to turn off

mute.

Decreasing System Sound (fn+f6)

Press fn+f6 to decrease system sound. Hold down the hotkey to

decrease the sound level incrementally.

TouchPad and Keyboard 7

Increasing System Sound (fn+f7)

Press fn+f7 to increase system sound. Hold down the hotkey to

increase the sound level incrementally.

Viewing Battery Charge Information (fn+f8)

Press fn+f8 to display charge information for all installed battery

packs. The display indicates which battery packs are charging and

reports the amount of charge remaining in each battery pack.

Battery pack locations are indicated by number:

■Location 1 is the primary battery pack.

■Location 2 is the optional travel battery pack.

Decreasing Screen Brightness (fn+f9)

Press fn+f9 to decrease screen brightness. Hold down the hotkey

to decrease the brightness level incrementally.

Increasing Screen Brightness (fn+f10)

Press fn+f10 to increase screen brightness. Hold down the hotkey

to increase the brightness level incrementally.

8 TouchPad and Keyboard

Displaying System Information (fn+esc)

Press fn+esc to display information about system hardware

components and software version numbers. Press fn+esc a second

time to remove the system information from the screen.

✎The system BIOS date is the version number of the system ROM.

The BIOS date may display in a decimal format, such as

10/19/2004 F.07.

Using Hotkeys with External Keyboards

The following table describes how certain hotkey functions can

be duplicated on external keyboards:

Notebook Keys External Keyboard Keys

fn+esc scroll lock+scroll lock+esc*

fn+f4 scroll lock+scroll lock+f4*

fn+f8 scroll lock+scroll lock+f8*

*Pressing the scroll lock 2 times on an external keyboard is a substitute
