Left and Right Control Panels
There are 6 momentary contact push buttons and a fingerprint scanner sensor located on two
control panels on either side of the X7 display, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. X7 Control Panels
Programmable Buttons P1, P2, P3
These buttons can be used to control different functions such as controlling brightness or
changing volume level. Press and release a button to activate or toggle the function. Refer to
the description of the
Programmable Button Settings for information on how to select available
options.
Fingerprint Scanner (FPS)
The fingerprint scanner sensor is used with security software to allow you to log onto the
computer or gain access to specific applications. Use of the scanner requires specialized
software that is not provided with the X7.
It can also be used to steer the on-screen cursor and perform some simple mouse functions.
Normally, this requires third-party software that does not come with the X7. However, we have
provided some introductory software that will allow you to explore this feature. Refer to
Using
the FPS as a Simple Mouse Device.
Fn (Function) Button
This button is used with programmable buttons P1, P2 and P3 to activate three additional
functions. Press and release the Fn button and then press and release P1, P2 or P3 to activate
