Control keys
The SoToxa Mobile Analyser has three control keys: the left selection key, the right selection key and the five way navigation button. Please see section
2.1 SoToxa Mobile Analyser at a glance
, which shows the location of these buttons.
The left and right selection keys can be used to select the corresponding on-screen buttons which will appear at the bottom left and right hand corners of the
screen when input is required from the user. For example, if the screen below appears, pressing the left selection key would take the user to the idle screen and
the prompt to insert the PQC cartridge, while pressing the right selection key would take the user to the help function associated with this step.
The five way navigation key can be used to scroll up, down, left and right by pressing the top, bottom, left or right edge of the button respectively. For example,
if the screen below appears, the five way navigation key can be used to move the highlighter bar up and down through the menu options. Pressing the centre of
the five way navigation key selects the option that is highlighted on the screen and can be used instead of the left and right selection keys for ‘OK’ and ‘Enter’.
