Learning How to Use the 5020

Multi-Use Keys
Multi-use keys are common on a standard keypad. On a regular keypad you press the
shift key together with the 1 key to get the ‘!’ character. On the 5020 keypad, you use
the modifiers keys (
, , ) to type characters appearing above the base
characters on the keypad. The characters are color coded to indicate which modifier key
you need to press. If you don’t select a modifier key, a pressed key results in the base
character being transmitted.
Using the Shift and Caps Lock Keys
On the 5020 keypad, the shift (
6) key can behave as both a standard shift key and as a
Caps Lock key. That is why there are two Notification Tray icons for this key and only
one for the other modifier keys.
Since these are two keys folded into one, both key modifiers,
6 and , could be in
effect at the same time. In this case, alphabetic keys will appear as lower case (the shift
cancels the caps lock), while other keys will appear as the upper level of a standard
keypad.
Adjusting Settings Using the Backlight Key

The Backlight key is one of the special features built into the 5020’s keypad. You can use
the Backlight key to:
•
Turn the backlight on and off on the 5020’s screen.
•
Adjust the display contrast.
•
Change the beep volume of the 5020’s audio signals.
For a detailed description of the backlight, contrast, and beep volume commands, see
Chapter 8, “Configuration Command Reference.”
Note: The Backlight key temporarily changes the backlight, contrast, or beep volume.
These changes are saved until a cold boot is performed. When you perform a cold
boot, 5020 configuration parameters are reset to the factory default values. For more
information, see “Booting the 5020” in Chapter 9.
