Information

The Satellite 800 series of computers, which includes the C800, L800, P800 and U800 notebooks has changed the traditional way the Function keys worked.

  • On older Toshiba Satellite notebooks, the user is required to hold down the FN key while tapping the 'F' numbered key to get a certain function.
  • The new Satellite 800 series computers use only the 'F' numbered keys without using the FN key to get the function.

NOTE: The user can go back to the traditional two key FN key combination if they want by making a change in the Bios or the HWSetup.

Along with the changes to the way the numbered 'F' keys operate, the specific functions of the differnt keys have changed as follows:

  • F1     Help files
  • F2     Decreases screen brightness
  • F3     Increases screen brightness
  • F4     Changes display output
  • F5     Enables and disables the touchpad
  • F6     Reverse
  • F7     Play / Pause
  • F8     Fast forward
  • F9     Decreases speaker volume
  • F10   Increases speaker volume
  • F11   Mutes the sound coming from the computer
  • F12   Enables and disables internal Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules
