How do those orange icons on the function keys work?

Question

Just need info on how those orange icons on the functions keys (below the function key number in white) work. But another question would be where do I find info like this when I've downloaded and gone through all of the Dell manuals for my XPS L702X, or where is a better place to look for a question like this? Did I miss something in the manuals? Most everyone else has a problem with their laptop in some form, and here I am in the Hardware section, lost in finding simple answers. Thank you all for any help on this. I know several of the icons I've used are for volume control or mute, and turning my laptop WiFi on or off, but how do the others work? In this information age, I guess there's just too much of it for me to wade through!

Hi vortexswmr,

For functions highlighted in orange to work, you must press and hold the Fn key in the bottom row of keys on the keyboard. Generally, when pressing these keys without pressing Fn key Normal F1 to F12 functions will be performed.

Information about all these keys is available in the “Setup Guide. You can view/download the “Setup Guide” from here.

Hope this helps.
