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.

Keyboard
Key Description
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.
