The Keypad Backlight
The intensity of the keypad backlight and the conditions under which this backlight is acti-
vated can be configured using the Keyboard icon in the Windows Embedded CE
Control
Panel
. The behaviour of the keypad backlight is tailored in the Keyboard Properties dialog
box. Refer to “Keyboard Backlight” on page 95 for details about this option.
Note: Keep in mind that there is a timeout of one second between key presses when
sequencing through the alphabetic characters on a key. If you pause longer than
one second between key presses, the alphabetic character that is displayed at that
time will be entered.
Note: Keep in mind that this option may be restricted to supervisory use only.
