4.7 FUNC TOGGLE & FUNCTION KEY MAPPING

The function key or key combination is one of the keys on the mobile physical keypad

that transmit control codes. Control codes do not produce displayable characters but are

codes for functions. If these codes are received by the mobile computer, it will perform

the associated function as defined.

4.7.1 FUNC TOGGLE

Generally, a function key combination, which requires pressing FN to enter the function

mode, works as follows —

1) Press FN on the 8300/8400/8500 Series mobile computer.

There will be an “F” icon on the screen to indicate the function mode is on.

2) Press the second key to get the value of a key combination (say, press the number

key 1 to get the value of F1). The icon will go off as the function mode is toggled off.

To have the function mode persist, you may choose to lock the function toggle in

advance so that it will not be toggled off automatically.

3) To get the value of another key combination, repeat the above steps.

To abort the function mode, press FN again and the icon will go off.

Note: For 8300/8400/8500 Series, the function key is unlocked by default.

For 8000 Series, the function key only works with the function toggle locked.
