Touch screen
Function keys
The function keys (not to be confused with the FN key) are
the 12 keys at the top of the keyboard.
(Sample Illustration) Function keys
F1 through F12 are called function keys because they
execute programmed functions when pressed. Used in
combination with the
FN key, function keys marked with
icons execute specific functions on the computer. For
example, the ( ) key turns the touchpad ON/OFF. If you
press the
FN + ( ) keys, the traditional F5 function
(refreshes the Internet page), is performed. For more
information, see “TOSHIBA Function Keys” on page 155.
