Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Ikôn
Onscreen Indicators
42 Ikôn Rugged PDA (Windows CE 5.0) User Manual
Modifier Key Indicators
[SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [BLUE] and [ORANGE] are modifier keys that when pressed,
are displayed in the taskbar to indicate that they are active. If a modifier key is locked ‘on’, it
is displayed in uppercase characters. For example, if the [BLUE] key is locked on, it is dis-
played as BLUE KEY in the taskbar. A locked modifier key remains active until it is
pressed again to unlock or turn it off.
If a modifier key has been pressed but is not locked on, it is displayed in the taskbar in low-
ercase characters—for example, blue key. It will remain active only until the next key is
pressed at which point, the modifier key is turned off.
Battery Gauge
The battery shaped icon displayed in the taskbar provides a visual indication of the remain-
ing battery power. The icon acts as a meter that is either full, at three-quarter level, half,
quarter level or empty.
When the battery level is low—approximately 15 minutes from empty—a warning window
pops up. When the battery power is completely depleted, a final warning window indicates
that the Ikôn will be powered down.
If the Ikôn is using external AC power, an AC icon is displayed in the taskbar.
Battery Charge
The battery charge icon is displayed in the taskbar when the Ikôn battery is being charged.
Note: The [CTRL] and [ALT] keys are only available on the keyboard when the Phone
option is not installed in the Ikôn (see Figure 3.2 on page 34). Those keys are
replaced by Phone keys when that option is present.
Note: The locking function of the modifier keys can be set up so that pressing one of these
keys once will lock the key ‘on’. They can also be set up so that they must be pressed
twice to be locked ‘on’. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 90
for details.
