Key Combinations
There are some keyboard functions and special characters not defined on the Dolphin 9500/9550 keyboards or overlays. For
charts of the key combinations associated with each keyboard layout, see
Dolphin® 9500/9550 Mobile Computer User's Guide
The SCAN key activates the scan on both 9500/9550 terminals. It also "wakes" the terminals from
sleep mode. Its position allows convenient one-handed image-taking and/or bar code decoding.
The Power key puts the terminal into and wakes the terminal from suspend mode.
The Shift key toggles the keyboard from upper case alphabet mode to lower case alphabet mode and
back. Caps Lock may also be toggled by pressing the red modifier key followed by the Shift key or by
double-tapping the Shift key. When Caps Lock is toggled on, the Shift key makes characters upper
case; when it is toggled off, the Shift key makes keys lower case.
The Enter key confirms data entry.
The Escape key performs a cancel action.
The Tab key moves the cursor to the next tab stop or the next control on a form.
By default, the Backlight key turns the keyboard backlights on and off.
The display backlight can be programmed to your specifications by going to Start > Settings >
System tab > Backlight. The display Backlight then functions according to your settings. For color
displays, when the backlight has turned off, pressing any key on the keyboard or tapping the touch
screen turns it back on.
This key is included only on the 43-key keyboard option which defaults to alphabetic mode. The
Number Lock key toggles between the alphabetic and numeric modes.
This key is included only on the 35-key keyboard option which defaults to numeric mode. The Alpha
key toggles between the numeric and alphabetic modes.
This key appears on both the 35 and 56-keyboard options. The Backspace key moves the cursor
back one space for each time the key is pressed. Backspace is a shifted function on the 43-key
keyboard version. To delete a single character, press Red key + SP. To delete multiple characters,
press Red key + SP and hold down the SP key.
This key appears on both the 35 and 56-keyboard options. The Delete key deletes one character for
each time the key is pressed. Delete is a shifted function on the 43-key keyboard version.
