SECTION 1 General Information " Key Descriptions This section includes a description of how the shift keys work and the differences between a 41-key and 51-key key- board. Your particular keyboard may have an overlay that has additional keys other than those described in this sec- tion.
Page 28: Numeric Keys
SECTION 1 General Information " Numeric Keys Use the numeric keys as you would those on a calculator. Numeric values are single keystroke operations. Alphabetic Keys Your computer provides the full alphabet on both the 41- and 51-key keyboards. Alphabetic characters are single keystroke operations with the 51-key keyboard but are two keystrokes on a 41-key keyboard.
Page 29 SECTION 1 General Information " Green [SHFT] Key Pressing the green [SHFT] key shifts the keyboard between uppercase and lowercase for a single keystroke entry. If the keyboard is set for uppercase character entry, pressing green [SHFT] followed by a character key enters a single lowercase character.
Page 30: Using Shifted Functions
SECTION 1 General Information " Using Shifted Functions This section explains the use of the shift keys. The Rules The green [SHFT] key is the same as the SHIFT key on a PC except that the green shift key also relates to those characters where green legends appear above the keys.
Page 31 SECTION 1 General Information " EXAMPLE: Pressing the green [SHFT] key and then the [DEL] key produces a dot instead of deleting the character at the cursor. The nearby keys on that row [CTRL], [ALT], and [ESC] still behave normally when the green [SHFT] is pressed first.
Page 32: Display Annunciator Locations On Display Window
SECTION 1 General Information " Display Annunciator Locations on Display Window Annunciators are located at the extreme bottom of the dis- play, in 20 separate positions. The following figure illus- trates where each annunciator is positioned. Position 1 is located in the lower left hand corner and position 20 com- pletes the row in the lower right hand corner.
Page 33: Annunciator Descriptions
SECTION 1 General Information " Annunciator Descriptions Annunciators appear on the bottom line of the display. Display Annunciators (Messages) The symbols contained in this section are larger than actual size. The meaning of the annunciators is described below: Shift mode: After holding down the green Shift [SHFT] key, the next character will be uppercase or the alternative function.
Page 34 SECTION 1 General Information " Alt mode: Generally you use the Alt mode as required by your particular application. Scroll lock mode: This mode locks the keyboard for scrolling only. By using the scroll arrows on the [WINDOW] keys you can continuously scroll through all data entered.
Page 35 SECTION 1 General Information " Blue Shift Mode: This annunciator shows you that the keyboard is in the blue shift mode. Pressing a key enters the character or performs the function shown in blue on the overlay to the upper left of the key. Yellow Shift Mode: This annunciator displays when the keyboard is in the yellow shift mode.
Page 36: Display Contrast
SECTION 1 General Information " The battery pack icons on your computer display reflect the same status as the LEDs on the battery pack. However, there may be a one minute delay for updating the icons on the display when the battery pack is replaced. Display Contrast You can adjust the contrast of your display.
Page 37: [L/O] Suspend Or Resume
SECTION 1 General Information " [l/O] Suspend or Resume Pressing the [I/O] key does not turn the hand-held comput- er off completely, but instead puts it into a suspend mode. Suspend mode enables the hand-held computer to conserve power but also enables it to respond quickly to data entry. Your hand-held computer responds to the scan key, the trig- ger on the scanner handle, or the [I/O] key.

Page 41: Battery
SECTION 1 General Information " A fully charged battery pack, left outside of a charger or your computer, self discharges in about 20 days. It is best to take batteries directly from the charging device and install them into your computer. Your battery packs are rated for 500 full charge/discharge cycles after which they have 50% of their original capacity.
Page 42 SECTION 1 General Information " WARNING: The battery can explode if it is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent kind. AVERTISSEMENT: La batterie au lithium peut exploser si elle est replacée de manière incorrecte. Elle ne doit être remplacée que par une batterie identique ou similaire.
Page 43: Backup Battery
SECTION 1 General Information " Backup Battery Your hand-held computer contains a rechargeable nickel- metal hydride backup battery. This backup battery re- charges when needed from either an external charging source (like a printer or dock) or from the main battery pack.
Page 44: Flash
SECTION 1 General Information " Flash Flash memory is available in 2 or 4 Megabytes. Flash stores the BIOS and DOS. Software stored in flash is co- pied into DRAM for execution. Your application may also store information in flash memory. Flash memory retains data even if all power sources are depleted.
Page 45: Batch Terminal Operation
SECTION 1 General Information " Batch Terminal Operation Your hand-held computer contains internal memory so it can collect and store data and then at the end of a day or shift, transmit (send) it to a centrally located host computer. Many applications do this upload and download of informa- tion daily, but sometimes this may happen several times a day, or only occur weekly.
