On my laptop Fn displays a certain number icons corresponding to Esc, F1, F2,F3,F4,F5,F6,F7,F8, F9 with F8 activating and deactivating the Wireless. F10 toggles the overlaid keyboard, F11 allows one to use the overlaid keyboard
There are no icons for F10, F11, and F12.
After the icon for F9, there is one for TAB, another for Space, and a last one.
If you click the last icon you open a second set (second page) where there are other icons that control other features. There is one to turn ON and OFF the BlueTooth Adapter.

Does your laptop have a Bluetooth card installed? Just because it shows on the keyboard doesn't mean its fitted.

My wireless on Lenovo G 450 is suddenly of. How to get it back ?

Hello,
There should be a physical switch on the side of the laptop(It depends which side because if you ordered a laptop with HDMI the wireless switch will be transferred from left to the right side). If it still does not work, try pressing Fn+F5 on your keyboard and you will see something on the screen that says something about your wireless device and bluetooth. From there you need to turn the switch on using Fn+F5.
Thanks hope this works!

I need an explanation as to the secondary function of the keys on my NB305. Mainly the top row of 'F' keys, but the remainder of the keyboard as well. What do all these little symbols on the keys mean?

F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the Fn key, keys marked with icons execute specific functions on the computer. The function executed by individual keys depends on the software you are using.

1. Sound Mute: Pressing Fn + ESC in a windows environment turns sound on or off. Press Fn + Enter to simulate Enter or the enhanced keyboard's numeric keypad. 2. Instant security: Press Fn + F1 to blank the screen to prevent others from accessing your data. To restore the screen and original setting, press any key or press the Touch Pad. 3. Power save mode: Pressing Fn + F2 changes the power save mode. 4. Standby: When you press Fn + F3, the computer enters Standby. 5. Hibernation: When you press Fn + F4, the computer enters Hibernation. 6. Display selection: Press Fn + F5 to change the active display device. Hold down Fn and press F5 again to change the device. 7. Internal LCD screen Brightness: Pressing Fn + F6 decreases the display brightness in decrements. 8. Internal LCD screen Brightness: Pressing Fn + F7 increases the display brightness in increments. 9. Wireless setting: If your computer has both Bluetooth and Wireless LAN functions, you can press Fn + F8 to select which type of wireless communication you want to use. 10. Touch Pad: Pressing Fn + F9 in a windows environment enables or disables the Touch Pad function. 11. Press Fn + F10 or Fn + F11 to access the integrated keypad. When activated, the keys with gray markings on the bottom edge become numeric keypad keys (Fn + F11) or cursor control keys (Fn + F10). The power on default for both settings is off. Press Fn + F12 (ScrLock) to lock the cursor on a specific line. The power on default is off. 12. TOSHIBA Zooming Utility (reduce): To reduce the icon size on the desktop or the application window, press the 1 key while holding down the Fn key. (13. TOSHIBA Zooming Utility (enlarge): To enlarge the icon size on the desktop or the application window, press the 2 key while holding down the Fn key.
