The Keyboard
Two keyboard options are available:
•
•
48-key alpha-numeric keyboard. This keyboard is only available with connected hand-
helds – units equipped with 802.11b/g radios.
•
26-key numeric keyboard. This option is available for both variants of NEO –
connected hand-helds (described above) and batch (unconnected) hand-helds not
equipped with 802.11b/g radios.
Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much like a desktop computer. Where a key or
key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, the differences are noted.
The [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] modifier keys provide access to additional keys and
system functions. These functions are colour coded in orange and blue print on the
keyboard keys.

Modifier Keys
The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [FN/BLUE] and [FN/ORANGE] keys are modifier keys.
Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed.
The [SHIFT], [CTRL] and [ALT] keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that
they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be
pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.

3.4.1.1 Activating Modifier Keys
When a modifier key is pressed once, it is displayed in lowercase letters in the taskbar at the
bottom of the hand-held screen. For example, if the [CTRL] key is pressed, ctrl key is dis-
played at the bottom of the unit screen. Once the next key is pressed, the modifier key
becomes inactive and disappears from the taskbar.
Keep in mind, however, that the ‘One Shot’ function allows you to determine how many key
presses will lock a modifier key ‘on’ – one press or two. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot
Modes” on page 82 for details.

in uppercase letters in the taskbar. For example, pressing the [CTRL] key twice locks it on –
it is displayed as CTRL KEY in the taskbar at the bottom of the computer screen.
