The Arrow Keys
The Arrow keys are located on the grey circular key at the top of the keyboard,
directly below the display. The arrow keys move the cursor around the screen – up,
down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that
indicates where the next character you type will appear.
The <BKSP/DEL> Key
The <BKSP> key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the
cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke.
The <DEL> key (<BLUE> <BKSP>) erases the character at the cursor position.
The <CTRL> And <ALT> Keys
The <CTRL> and <ALT> keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are
application dependent.
The <TAB> Key
Typically, the <TAB> key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or
downward.
The <ESC> Key
Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu,
dialogue box or activity and return to the previous one.
The <SPACE> Key
Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialogue
box, pressing the <SPACE> key enables (
√
) or disables a checkbox.
The <SCAN> Keys
Pressing either of the <SCAN> keys – the two yellow keys situated in upper-left and
upper-right corner of the keyboard – activates the scanner beam. For units that do
not have internal scanners, these keys are inoperable.
The Function Keys – <F1> to <F10>
Function keys <F1> to <F10> perform special, custom-defined functions. These
keys are accessed by pressing <BLUE> followed by numeric keys <1> to <10>.
They can be used with the Windows CE .NET operating system or another
application.
