If you see that message, then F3 is working. You're not supposed to 
type fn in the equation editor. Just type it in the document itself as 
regular text and then (with the cursor immediately to the right of 
'fn') press F3. As mentioned in another response, make sure that 
you're doing this in a Writer document.
