Alphanumeric Keyboard – 63-Key

3.3.4 Alphanumeric Keyboard – 63-Key

On 63-key, alphanumeric keyboards, all alphabetic and numeric keys are directly accessible from the keyboard; a key combination is not required.

Function keys [F1] through [F24] can be used with the CE operating system or another application. The additional function keys, [F25] through [F30] along with the macro keys, are not used as part of the Windows CE operating system.

All function keys and macro keys can be custom defined for each application. The TekTerm application utilizes these keys (for detailed information, see the TekTerm Software User Manual, PN 8000073). Refer to “Function And Macro Keys” on page 36 for details about accessing function keys [F25] to [F30].

3.3.5 Numeric Keyboard – 37-Key

On 37-key 7530 G2s, all alpha characters are printed on the unit plastic in orange typeface above the numeric keys. To access an alpha character, you must first press the [ORANGE] key and then press the numeric key above which the alpha character you want to type is printed.

Because the alpha keys on these keyboards are laid out much like the letters on a telephone – generally in groups of three letters per numeric key – you need to take a few extra steps to access the alphabetic characters. The examples in this section help illustrate how to access alpha characters.

Choosing A Single Alpha Character

Note: As you press alpha keys, each is displayed in the left-hand corner of the taskbar to make it easier to determine which letter is currently active.
