Using the keyboard
Identifying the hotkeys
A hotkey is a combination of the fn key (1) and either the esc key (2), or the b key (3).
To use a hotkey:
▲
Briefly press the fn key, and then briefly press the second key of the hotkey combination.
Description
fn+esc Displays system information.
fn+b Increases or decreases the Beats Audio bass settings.
Beats Audio is an enhanced audio profile that provides a deep, controlled bass while maintaining a clear
sound. Beats Audio is enabled by default.
You can also view and control the bass settings through the Windows operating system. To view and control
the bass properties:
Select Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Beats Audio.
Using the action keys
Action keys are customized actions that are assigned to specific keys at the top of the keyboard. The
icons on the f1 through f12 keys represent the action key functions.
To use an action key, press and hold this key to activate the assigned function.
NOTE: The action key feature is enabled at the factory. You can disable this feature in Setup Utility
(BIOS) and revert back to standard settings by pressing the fn key and one of the function keys to
activate the assigned function. Refer to the “Setup Utility (BIOS) and System Diagnostics” chapter in
the HP Notebook Reference Guide for instructions.
