MX1 Reference Guide E-EQ-MX1RG-D
Troubleshooting
The MX1 will not turn off -- force the MX1 to power off by holding the Power key down for 15
seconds -- the MX1 will power off. Locate and correct the problem before powering the MX1
back on – e.g. IRQ conflict, very low battery power, radio conflict, unexpected software
application result, etc.
Keyboard
When changes have been made, press an arrow key to go to another parameter or menu or press
ESC to go to the Exit Menu.
Caps
This parameter is used to determine whether the CAPS function is turned on or off at bootup.
Values: On, Off
Default: Off
NumLock
Use this option to set NumLock at boot time. When NumLock is On, the keypad is locked in
numeric mode.
Alpha-Numeric - Whether NumLock at Boot is Off or On, no icon is displayed on the screen and
the keypad functions normally. To enter “number” number keys instead of “alpha” number keys,
the user must press 2
ND
+SHIFT plus the number key when NumLock is On. After bootup,
pressing the 2
ND
+SHIFT+RightArrow toggles NumLock on and off. See Appendix A, “Key
Maps”.
Numeric-Alpha - When NumLock is Off, the Alpha icon is displayed on the screen and the
number keys function as alphabetic keys. When NumLock is On, the Alpha icon is not displayed
on the screen and the number keys function as number keys. Toggling between Alphabetic and
Numeric modes is accomplished by pressing the A/# key.
Note: Numeric-Alpha Only. NumLock and the A/# key are two separate entities. The A/# key
toggles between the number and alpha legends on the keypad. NumLock state determines
if scan codes for the number keys on a 101-key keyboard's number keypad can be
generated by pressing 2
nd
+SHIFT+number. The number keypad numbers can be
generated if NumLock is On.
When the keypad is in numeric mode and the user wants to type one alpha character
within a sequence of numbers, pressing 2
nd
plus Enter key will toggle the keypad to alpha
mode for one character – the next key pressed. Then the keypad returns to numeric mode.
Values: On, Off
Default: On
Rpt Delay
The Rpt Delay parameter will designate the period of time from the depression of a key until the
key repeats.
Values: 0.25 to 2.00 second
(0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.00)
Default: 0.5 seconds
