the taskbar to indicate that this key is locked ‘on’.

Creating Uppercase Letters
To display a capital letter:
• Press the [FN/ORANGE] key and then the [SHIFT] key before typing the
alpha character.
Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters
• Lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’.

5.4.5 The Keypad Backlight
The intensity of the keypad backlight and the conditions under which this backlight is acti-
vated can be configured using the Keyboard icon in the Windows CE 5.0 Control Panel. The
behaviour of the keypad backlight is tailored in the Keyboard Properties dialog box. Refer
to “Keyboard Backlight” on page 89 for details about this option.
Note: Keep in mind that there is a timeout if you pause for one second between key presses
when selecting the second, third or fourth letters on a key. For example, suppose
you want to type the letter ‘c’ – you’d need to press the [2] key three times. With the
[FN/ORANGE] key locked ‘on’, if you press [2] twice and then pause between key
presses for 1 second, the letter ‘b’ will be selected automatically.
Note: If you want to use uppercase characters at all times, press [FN/BLUE] [SHIFT]. An
icon of an uppercase ‘A’ is displayed in the taskbar indicating that all letters will be
displayed as uppercase characters.
Important: Once you have finished typing alpha characters, remember to turn off or
unlock the [FN/ORANGE] key.
