Control keys
The SoToxa™ Mobile Analyzer has a five-way navigation button and the left and right soft keys. Please see section 2.1 SoToxa™ Mobile Analyzer
at a glance
, which shows the location of these buttons.
The left and right selection keys can be used to select the corresponding on-screen buttons which will appear at the bottom left and right hand
corners of the screen when input is required from the user. For example, if the screen below appears, pressing the left selection key would take
the user to the menu while pressing the right selection key would take the user to the help function associated with this step.
The five way navigation key can be used to scroll up, down, left and right by pressing the top, bottom, left or right edge of the button
respectively. For example, if the screen below appears, the five way navigation key can be used to move the highlighter bar up and down
through the list of test results. Pressing the center of the five way navigation key selects the option that is highlighted on the screen and can be
used instead of the left and right selection keys for ‘OK’ and ‘Enter’.
