Using the Pointing Device
✍
The pointer may move on its own on rare occasions, which does not indicate a malfunction. Leave the pointing stick untouched for a while. The pointer
will behave normally.
The tip on the pointing stick is a consumable. You can replace it with one of the supplied spare caps when necessary.
You can disable/enable the pointing stick while a mouse is connected to your computer. To change the pointing stick settings, use the VAIO Control
Center .
!
Be sure to connect a mouse before disabling the pointing stick. If you disable the pointing stick before connecting a mouse, you will be able to use only
the keyboard for pointer operations.
