Note
It is not easy for the machine operator to operate the chat window without a
mouse. The machine operator can place the chat window in the background or
foreground via softkeys during a desktop control session. The chat window on the
machine control is automatically placed in the foreground if a text message is
received.
If the machine operator wants to send a text message on his or her own initiative
and the chat window is minimized, the operator can place the chat window in the
foreground via a softkey.
