Using Your VAIO® Notebook

Using the Keyboard

Your keyboard is very similar to a typewriter’s, but the keyboard has additional keys that perform specific computer-related tasks.

Numeric keypad area

 

Contains the keys found on a typical calculator. Use

 

 

 

 

the numeric keypad area to type numbers or to

 

 

 

 

perform mathematical calculations such as addition

 

 

 

 

and subtraction. Note that you must press the Num

 

 

 

 

Lock key to activate the numeric keypad. (When you

 

 

 

 

do so, the Num Lock light will be on.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Navigation keys

 

Several keys are devoted to moving the cursor on the

 

 

 

 

screen (the four arrow keys which also function as the

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Correction keys

 

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

 

 

 

 

make corrections in your documents.
