Also you can Hold the Fn key and hit the f2 key. I do have one tip I
learned from my ze4610. If its running extremely slow check power
options and make sure it is at least on portable/laptop. Mine went
into "presentation" mode while on battery. Which defaulted it to
519Mhz all the time. Portable/laptop adjusts due to demand.
