Change Operation Of Function Keys

How do I make the functions keys work WITHOUT pressing the FN key with the function keys? The default is for the process on the TOP of the key (volume, brightness, etc.) to operate when the keys are pressed WITHOUT pressing the FN key with them. Is this in the BIOS? Thanks!

Hi, you need to put the function keys into "special function mode." Instructions for doing that can be found on page 4-3 of the user manual.
