Default

infrared mode

In the BIOS Setup utility, infrared (IR) communication is by default disabled. When you enable IR

communication, the IR mode selected by default is FIR (Fast Infrared).

Fn hot keys on an external keyboard

When using combination hot keys (shortcut key sequences) on an external keyboard—

which is

equivalent to using the Fn key on the HP notebook keyboard--use the Ctrl and Alt keys on the left

side of the external keyboard.

Hibernate mode

Hibernate mode occurs automatically when battery power reaches a critically low level. It is

possible to change the battery power settings, however, HP does not recommend that you change

the defaults. Changing the default values could cause your unit to not suspend properly and could

result in loss of data.

Using Enhanced Video and Dual Monitors

Standard video drivers are installed on your Notebook for various settings of screen area and

colors, as well as for screen zoom capabilities.

To use two monitors in dual mode

You can use two monitors with your Notebook, either in dual mode, effectively expanding your screen real

estate, or in simultaneous mode, displaying the same screen twice.

The LCD monitor that is part of the Notebook is the primary display (Monitor 1), and a second CRT

monitor attached to the rear video port is the secondary display (Monitor 2). You can also switch from one

monitor to the other (using only one at a time) by pressing Fn+F12.

To enable the dual monitor for a 14 inch display.
