Hot keys refer to a combination of keys that can be pressed any time to activate special functions of the computer. Most hot keys operate in a cyclic manner. You can easily identify hot keys via the icons imprinted on the keyboard. The GL30 and GL80 hot keys are as follows:

FN+F1	“Zz” Icon (F1): Places the Notebook PC in suspend mode (either Save-to-RAM or Save-to-Disk depending on sleep button setting in power management setup).
FN+F2	Radio Antenna Icon (F2): Toggles the wireless radio antenna and bluetooth antennas ON and OFF.
FN+F5	Filled Sun Icon (F5): Decreases the display brightness
FN+F6	Open Sun Icon (F6): Increases the display brightness

FN+F8	LCD/Monitor Icons (F8): Toggles between the Notebook PC’s LCD display and an external monitor in this series: Notebook PC LCD -> External Monitor -> Both. (This function does not work in 256 Colors; select High Color in Display Property Settings.) IMPORTANT! Connect the external monitor before booting up the Notebook PC.
FN+F10	Speaker Mute Icon (F10): Toggles the speakers between MUTE and ON (only in Windows OS).
FN+F11	Volume Down Icon (F11): Pressing this will decrease the volume (only in Windows OS).
