The QWERTY Keyboard 51
E-EQ-VX6RG-F VX6 Reference Guide
Key Maps
The keyboard supports all 101 keyboard functions. However, because the keyboard only has 60
keys, all functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard). Therefore the VX6 keyboard
supports what is called hidden keys -- keys that are accessible but not visible on the keyboard.
The hidden keys supported by the VX6 are listed in Appendix A, “Key Maps”.
Custom Key Maps
See Appendix A “Keymaps”, section titled “Creating Custom Keymaps for the VX6”.
To activate the Custom keymap, select
Start | Settings | Control Panel | Keyboard
icon. Select
the Custom keymap from the keyboard popup menu, and close the control panel with the OK
button. To return to the default keymap, select
Preload
or
0409
(depending on system software
revision) from the keymap popup and click OK.
Note: VX6 and Custom Key Maps: before connecting to a host using Remote Desktop
Connection, go to Start | Settings | Control Panel | Keyboard and select Preload or 0409
(depending on system software revision) from the keymap popup. Click OK.
NumLock and the VX6
The keyboard does not have a NumLock indicator or key. By default, NumLock is On.
NumLock can be toggled On or Off using the <2
nd
> <SHIFT> <F10> keypress sequence.
For information on preserving NumLock configuration after a reboot, please see “Configuring
NumLock Behavior” in Chapter 3, “System Configuration”.
Keyboard Backlight
The LXE keyboard keys are backlit. The keyboard backlight and the display share the same
timer, which is configured in the Windows CE Control Panel. When the display is On, the
keyboard backlight is also On. Please refer to “Power Management” later in this document for
information on configuring the timeout.
