Using the status indicators
Status indicators inform you when a drive is being used or when a button has been
pressed that affects how the keyboard is used. The status indicators are located
below the screen.
Using the keyboard
Your notebook features a full-size keyboard that functions the same as a desktop
computer keyboard. Many of the keys have been assigned alternate functions,
including shortcut keys for Windows and function keys for specific system
operations.
Important
If none of the indicators are on, you may need to press FN+F1 to toggle the
status indicators on.
