Hi @PR59, 

Welcome to HP Support Community!

Thank you for sharing the images. Based on the top row of the HP 710 wireless keyboard shown, here is a breakdown of the special function keys (F1–F12 and others) and what each symbol means, including how to activate them:

Top Row Function Key Descriptions (left to right):

Key	Symbol	Description	Default or Use with Fn
F1	🔇	Mute audio	Default
F2	🔉	Volume down	Default
F3	🔊	Volume up	Default
F4	⏮️	Previous track (media)	Default
F5	▶️⏸️	Play/Pause (media)	Default
F6	⏭️	Next track (media)	Default
F7	🌐	Launch web browser	Default
F8	✉️	Launch email client	Default
F9	📷	Snip & Sketch / Screenshot tool	Default
F10	🔲	Maximize window / Switch apps	May require Fn
F11	🌙	Sleep Mode	Default
F12	🔒	Lock screen	Default

 Key Combinations & Tips:

• Function Lock (Fn Lock):

  • If pressing F1–F12 performs their traditional functions (like refreshing or opening help), hold Fn key + top-row key to activate the special function.

  • If the special functions (e.g., volume) work by default, you don’t need to hold Fn.

  • To toggle Fn Lock: Try pressing Fn + Esc. Some keyboards support this to switch default behavior.
