TIP: The Windows logo key on the keyboard allows you to quickly return to the Start screen
from an open app or the Windows desktop. Pressing the Windows logo key again will return you to
the previous screen.
NOTE: Depending on the country or region, your keyboard may have different keys and keyboard
functions than those discussed in this section.
Using the keys
Your tablet has different ways to quickly access information or perform functions with certain key
combinations.
Using the action keys
NOTE: Action keys do not display or function on the on-screen keyboard of the tablet.
An action key on the keyboard dock performs an assigned function. The icon on each of the f1
through f4 keys, the f5 key (select models only), and f6 through f12 keys illustrates the assigned
function for that key.
To use an action key function, press and hold the key.
The keyboard dock action key feature is enabled at the factory. You can disable this feature in Setup
Utility (BIOS). See
Using Setup Utility (BIOS) and System Diagnostics on page 60 for instructions
on opening Setup Utility (BIOS), and then follow the instructions at the bottom of the screen.
To activate the assigned function after disabling the action key feature on the keyboard dock, you
must press the fn key in combination with the appropriate action key.
CAUTION: Use extreme care when making changes in Setup Utility. Errors can prevent the tablet
from operating properly.
