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 CE 5.0 Control Panel. The 
behaviour of the keypad backlight is tailored in the Keyboard Properties dialog box. Refer 
to “Keyboard Backlight” on page 89 for details about this option.

The Display
Ikôn Rugged PDAs are equipped with display backlighting to improve character visibility 
in low light conditions. The backlight switches on when a key is pressed or the screen 
is tapped.

Adjusting The Display Backlight
The Display Properties dialog box in the Control Panel allows you to determine the behav-
iour of the display backlight and its intensity. Refer to “Display Backlight” on page 84 for 
details about the Display Properties dialog box.

Calibrating The Touchscreen
If your Ikôn touchscreen has never been calibrated, or if you find that the stylus pointer is 
not accurate when you tap on an item, use the Stylus Properties dialog box in the Control 
Panel
 to recalibrate the screen.
Note: If you want to use uppercase characters at all times, press [BLUE] [SHIFT]. An 
icon of an uppercase ‘A’ is displayed in the taskbar indicating that all letters will be 
displayed as uppercase characters.
Important: Once you have finished typing alpha characters, remember to turn off or 
unlock the [ORANGE] key.
Note: Keep in mind that this option may be restricted to supervisory use only.
