Pointing Devices and Keyboard Switching Displays (fn+f4) The fn+f4 hotkey switches the image among display devices connected to the external monitor connector or the S-Video jack on the notebook. For example, if an external monitor is connected to the notebook, pressing the fn+f4 hotkey multiple times will toggle the image between the notebook display, the external monitor display, and a simultaneous display on both the notebook and the monitor. Most external monitors receive video information from the notebook using the external VGA video standard. The fn+f4 hotkey can also toggle images among other devices receiving video information from the notebook. The following five video transmission types, with examples of devices that use them, are supported by the fn+f4 hotkey: ■ LCD (notebook display) ■ External VGA (most external monitors) ■ S-Video (televisions, camcorders, VCRs, and video capture boards with S-Video-in jacks) ■ Composite video (televisions, camcorders, VCRs, and video capture boards with composite-video-in jacks) ■ DVI-D (external monitors that support the DVI-D interface) ✎ Composite video devices and DVI-D can only be connected to the notebook when it is docked in an optional Advanced Port Replicator. Viewing Battery Charge Information (fn+f8) Press fn+f8 to display charge information for all installed battery packs. The display indicates which battery packs are charging and reports the amount of charge remaining in each battery pack. Battery pack locations are indicated by number: ■ Location 1 is the primary battery pack. ■ Location 2 is the MultiBay battery pack. Hardware Guide 2-7
