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.
Memory Stick
You can use VAIO Action Setup to preset your computer to automatically
launch an application when you insert a Memory Stick. For more
