- 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
