#539: Function Keys

The 5200 /mint uses an industry standard notebook keyboard. Because of this, some keys are not used for any special purpose, even though there is a blue special-purpose function printed on the key itself.

The following function keys actually have a special purpose on 5200 /mint notebooks equipped with a TFT display: F1-F4, F6, F9-F12.

The following function keys actually have a special purpose on 5200 /mint notebooks equipped with a DualScan display: F3, F4, F6-F12.

Note that on all 5200 /mint notebooks, the Fn-F5 key combination does nothing. Also, on the TFT notebooks, contrast is not adjustable, and the screen is not reversible, so several of the Fn-Fx key combinations do nothing.

Finally, when adjusting the brightness on TFT 5200 /mint notebooks, you will note that there is not much difference between the darkest and brightest settings.
