TOUCHSCREEN
The HawkEye (PT) Plus has a resistive touchscreen, since
resistive touchscreens respond to pressure on the surface
this means that you can use the HEPT Plus while wearing
gloves and also with a stylus.
Resistive touchscreens are very durable, however, as with
any touchscreen, users must be careful not to damage it
with a sharp object. A resistive touchscreen requires
moderate finger pressure and the screen may also need to
be recalibrated from the Settings menu from time to time.
POWER ON
To power on the HawkEye (PT) Plus press/hold down the power/back
button for approximately two seconds.
When the screen turns on users may notice a “Date/Time Unavailable” message, this is normally observed whilst
the HEPT Plus checks its internal clock against the data from the GPS receiver.
Once the device is powered on, touch any icon to access device features. Press the power/back
key briefly to
go back to the previous screen.
POWER OFF/LOCK
The HawkEye (PT) Plus can be powered off at any time by holding down the power/back button for 3 seconds and
then selecting “Turn Off” from the “Power Down or Lock” prompt.
If the HEPT Plus is unlocked it will automatically lock and go to into a “sleep” mode after 90 seconds of inactivity.
To lock an unlocked HEPT Plus press and hold the power/back button for 3 seconds and then select “Lock” from
the “Power Down or Lock” prompt.
KEYBOARDS
The HawkEye (PT) Plus keyboards are displayed in
landscape mode, there are three different keyboard styles
offered: lower case, upper case and number/special
characters. Toggle between keyboards by pressing the
designated keys next to the “Done” key.
The keyboard screen is divided into three sections as
shown in the figure (right).
The right side of the header bar displays the remaining
number of characters that can be typed into the Text Box, when the remaining characters reaches 0 an alert will
sound since additional text cannot be entered.
