wrong forum...but

the flash cards are visual representation of what the function keys do. For instance on the laptop, FN + F5 is the command to output to a separate monitor or TV. There are 3-4 commands that FN + F5 does...so the flash cards will swap between the ones each time you hit it until choose what option you want.

You dont NEED them, you can just hit the FN + Fkey for whatever you want. Its just a substitute way to do it.
