Programmable Power Keys
Your Sony computer comes with technology that allows you to get to your favorite applications easily. Each Programmable Power Key (PPK) on your VAIO Smart convertible keyboard comes programmed to launch a preset application with a single press of the key. If you wish, you can use the VAIO Action Setup software to change the Programmable Power Keys’ preset functions.
The Programmable Power Keys are located at the top of your keyboard, and are numbered P1 through P6. The keys work even when the computer is turned off. Pressing one of these keys turns on the computer and launches the preset application.
The six Programmable Power Keys come to you preprogrammed to perform the functions listed in the table below.
