the taskbar.
Windows Start Button
You can display the Start Menu by tapping on the Start button in the taskbar.
Modifier Key Indicators
[SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [BLUE] and [ORANGE] are modifier keys that have onscreen
indicators to show when a key is active or locked. If a modifier key is pressed once to acti-
vate it, the key is displayed in the taskbar in lowercase characters—for example, pressing
the [BLUE] key once displays
blue key in the taskbar. If a modifier key is pressed twice, it is
‘locked on’ and the onscreen indicator is displayed in uppercase letters in the taskbar—for
example, pressing [BLUE] twice displays
BLUE KEY in the taskbar.
802.11 Radio Signal Quality
Increasing radio signal quality is represented by longer, filled bars within this icon.
The radio signal is determined when the 8515 receives a message. If the unit receives no
messages within a second, the “no signal” icon is displayed. The signal strength icon shows
the following cases: No signal, 1% to 25% bar, 26% to 50% bar, 51% to 75% bar and 75%
to 100% bar.
Bluetooth Radio
This icon represents the Bluetooth radio installed in your 8515.
