Using Your VAIO®Notebook

Using the Keyboard

Although the notebook keyboard is very similar to that of a typewriter, the

keyboard has additional keys that perform specific computer-related tasks.

The Notebook Keyboard Keys

Key Description

Numeric keypad area The numeric keypad area contains the keys found on a

typical calculator. Use this area to type numbers or to

perform mathematical calculations such as addition

and subtraction. Note the following:

❑To activate the numeric keypad, press the Num

Lock key, which causes the Num Lock light to

come on and remain on until the numeric keypad

is deactivated.

❑To deactivate the Num Lock key, press the Num

Lock key again, which causes the Num Lock

light to go off.

Navigation keys The Left/Right/Up/Down arrows are devoted to move

the cursor on the screen and also function as the

Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down keys,

respectively.

Correction keys The Insert, Back Space, and Delete keys enable you to

make corrections in your documents.

Function keys The 12 function keys along the top of the keyboard

are used to perform designated tasks. For example, in

many applications, F1 is the Help key. The task

associated with each function key may vary from one

application to the next.

Escape key The Esc (Escape) key is used to cancel commands.

Print Screen key The Print Screen key takes an electronic snapshot of

the screen and places it in the Windows Clipboard.

You can then paste the screen shot into a document

and print it.

Operator keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift

keys).

Several keys are always used with at least one other

key: Ctrl, Alt, and Shift. When held down with

another key, the Ctrl (Control) and Alt (Alternate)

keys offer another way to give commands. For

example, in many applications, instead of choosing

the Save command from a menu, you can hold down

Ctrl and press S (referred to as Ctrl+S). The Shift key

operates the same way as on a typewriter; it is used to

produce capital letters or special symbols such as @

and $.

Using Your VAIO®Notebook

Indicators

Windows key The key with the Windows logo displays the

Windows Start menu; it is the equivalent of clicking

Start on the task bar. See “The Windows Key in

Combination with Other Keys”on page 11.

Fn key The Fn keys at the left and right sides work the same

and are used in combination with other keys to issue

commands. See “The Fn Key in Combination with

Other Keys”.

Applications key The Applications key displays a shortcut menu of

context-sensitive choices; pressing this key is the

equivalent of clicking the right mouse button.

Indicators Functions

Power Light is green when the notebook is powered on,

flashes amber when the notebook is in Standby mode,

and turns off when the notebook is in Hibernate mode

or is powered off.

Battery Indicates the status of the battery, which is attached at

the rear of the notebook.

MG Memory Stick Indicates the Memory Stick slot is in use.
