Psion VH10 Vehicle-Mount Computer User Manual
All function keys and macro keys can be custom defined for each application. The Open TekTerm applica-
tion utilizes these keys (for detailed information, see the
Open TekTerm Software User Manual ,
PN 8000073).
3.2.3.1 Function Keys
Function keys perform special, custom-defined functions within an application. These keys are accessed by
pressing one of the dedicated function keys on the keyboard, or through the appropriate [ORANGE] or
[BLUE] key sequence.
To access the orange or blue function keys, first press the [ORANGE] or [BLUE] key followed by the appro-
priate function key.
Function keys [F1] through [F12] can be used with the Windows Embedded CE operating system or another
application. The additional function keys, [F13] through [F30] along with the macros, are not used as part of
the Windows Embedded CE operating system.
3.2.3.2 Macro Keys
The VH10 keyboard is equipped with a series of macro keys that can be programmed to replace frequently
used keystrokes, along with the function of executable keys like the [ENTER] key, the [BACKSPACE] key, any
function key, arrow key, etc.
3.2.4 The [SYM] Key
The Symbol key is represented on the keyboard by the characters [SYM] and provides access to commonly
used symbolic characters. Pressing the key brings up the Symbol soft input panel (SIP) onscreen keyboard,
with symbols mapped to each key. If you wish to adjust the settings for the pop-up screen, modify the file
softinputpanel.xml , located in the Windows folder. Reboot the computer for the new settings to take effect.
3.2.5 The Keyboard Backlight
The intensity of the keyboard backlight and the conditions under which this backlight is activated can be
configured by opening the Keyboard icon in the Windows Embedded CE
Control Panel . The behaviour of the
keyboard backlight is tailored in the Keyboard Properties dialog box. Refer to “Backlight” on page 59 for
details about this option.
Important: Refer to “Macro Keys” on page 61 for details about creating macros.
Note: To maximize battery run time when the VH10 is on UPS Battery Power, the keyboard backlight
automatically turns off. For details see “Power Saving Suspend” on page 70.
