Basic Operation
The following sections describe some of the features and functions that are available on the DSV3 family
of products.
5.1
Stylus Usage
A stylus is provided to use with the touch screen for selecting items and entering information (the unit
may also be operated with a standard USB mouse). The stylus can be found in the stylus holder on the
back of the EasyVerify and the front of the EasyRead. Typical actions to perform with the stylus include:
•
Tap
:
Lightly touch the screen once with the stylus to select an object. Tapping is equivalent to
clicking an item with the mouse on your personnel computer.
•
Double-Tap
:
Lightly touch the screen twice with the stylus to open folders and applications.
Double-Tapping is equivalent to Double-clicking an item with the mouse on your personnel
computer.
•
Drag:
Hold the stylus on the screen and drag it across the screen to select text and images. Drag
within a list to select multiple items.
•
Tap-and-Hold
: Tap and hold the stylus on an item for a short period until a menu displays a list
of actions available for that item. Tapping and holding is equivalent to right-clicking al computer
mouse button. When you tap and hold, a circle of red dots appears around the stylus to indicate
that the menu will soon pop up. Tap the action you want to perform on the pop-up menu that
appears.

Power Management
The Power Properties for the terminal can be configured and monitored by double clicking the Power icon
in the WinCE Control Panel. The
Battery
tab displays the battery gauge / charge status, and the
Schemes
tab allows the user to configure the timeout for each of the Power States defined below.
5.3.1
Power Management States
Clicking the
Schemes
tab allows you to configure when the system enters into the various power
management modes available to maximize battery life. An operator can configure the time the system
must be idle before entering each of the available power management states.
Note: The times configured for each state are cumulative!
For example, the time required for the
system to suspend is the sum of the time configured to go to User Idle + the time to go to System Idle +
the time to go to Suspend.
