Press [SPACE] to select the shift state you want to assign.Removing Unicode Values•In the Unicode Mapping tab, highlight the item you want to delete, and choose the Remove button.5.5.2.6 Scancode RemappingA scancode is a number that is associated with a physical key on a keyboard. Every key has a unique scancode that is mapped to a virtual key, a function or a macro. Scancode Remapping allows you to change the functionality of any key on the keyboard. A key can be remapped to send a virtual key (e.g. VK_F represents the ‘F’ key; VK_RETURN represents the [ENTER] key, etc.), perform a function (e.g. turn the scanner on, change volume/contrast, etc.) or run a macro.
Chapter 5: ConfigurationKeyboard Properties94 WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows CE 5.0 User ManualThere are three different tables of scancode mappings: the Normal table, the Blue table and the Orange table. The Normal table defines unmodified key presses; the Blue table defines key presses that occur when the [FN/BLUE] modifier is on; the Orange table defines key presses that occur when the [FN/ORANGE] modifier is on. The default mappings of these scancodes can be overwritten for each of these three tables using the Scancode Remapping tab accessed from the Keyboard Properties dialog box.The first column in the Scancode Remapping tab displays the scancodes in hexadecimal. If the scancode is remapped to a virtual key, that virtual key is displayed in the next column labelled ‘V-Key’. A virtual key that is ‘Shifted’ or ‘Unshifted’ is displayed in the third column labelled ‘Function’. If the scancode is remapped to a function or a macro, the first and second columns remain blank while the third column contains the function name or macro key number (e.g., Macro 2).Adding A RemapTo add a new remapping:• Choose the Add button at the bottom of the dialog box.
WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows CE 5.0 User Manual 95Chapter 5: ConfigurationKeyboard PropertiesThe Remap Scancode dialog box is displayed.• Type the scan code in hexadecimal in the field labelled ScancodeNote: The Label field displays the default function of the scancode you are remapping.Virtual Key, Function And MacroThe radio buttons at the bottom of the dialog box allow you to define to what the scan code will be remapped: Virtual Key, Function or Macro. When Virtual Key is selected, you can choose to force [SHIFT] to be on or off when the virtual key is sent. If No Force is selected, the shift state is dependent on whether the shift state is on or off at the time the virtual key is sent.When Function is selected, a list of valid functions appears in the dialog box. When Macro is selected, the macro keys available on your unit are listed in the dialog box.• Choose Virtual Key, Function or Macro.• Choose a function from the Function list in the dialog box, and tap on OK.Editing A Scancode RemapTo edit a scancode:•In the Scancode Remapping tab, tap the stylus on the remap you wantto edit.• Tap on the Edit button, and make the appropriate changes.

WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows CE 5.0 User Manual 99Chapter 5: ConfigurationPower Management Properties5.5.4.2 Power Saving Suspend•In the Power Properties dialog box, open the Suspend tab.Power SourceThis dialog box allows you to specify the suspend time for either AC Power or Battery Power.Suspend TimeoutImportant: Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 10 min-utes. To further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the duration of time that the display backlight is ‘on’ (see “Display Backlight” on page 85).When the WORKABOUT PRO is idle—not receiving any user input (a key touch, a scan, and so on) or system activity (serial data, an activity initiated by an application, and so on)—the hand-held uses the value assigned in the Suspend Timeout field to determine when the unit will go to sleep (appear to be off). When the time in the Suspend Timeout field elapses without any activity, the unit enters suspend state. In suspend state, the WORKABOUT PRO CPU enters a sleep state, and the radio is shut off. The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved. Pressing [ENTER] wakes the system from suspend state. When the WORKABOUT PRO is in suspend state, the network connection will not be broken immediately. If the connection is dropped, you must re-establish the network connection.
Chapter 5: ConfigurationPower Management Properties100 WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows CE 5.0 User Manual5.5.4.3 Suspend ThresholdThe Suspend Threshold adjustment tells the system when to shut down when the battery drains. If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the hand-held will run until the battery is completely empty; the RAM is only backed up for a short period of time. If you choose Maximum Backup Time, the hand-held shuts off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer period of time.Important: Selecting Maximum backup time will reserve approximately 20% of the battery capacity for memory backup. Once the battery is drained, the system RAM memory is lost and the unit must cold boot.In most real-time transaction environments this is not a problem (it only takes a few seconds to cold boot). Batch transaction envi-ronments, where data is not saved to a non-volatile memory (such as an SD FLASH card), may need to pay particular attention to this parameter. Psion Teklogix does not recommend the storage of any valuable data in system RAM.The WORKABOUT PRO Windows CE 5.0 environment does not store any critical data in RAM (such as the registry or file system). If the user's application does not save data to RAM, Psion Tek-logix recommends keeping the Suspend Threshold setting as low as possible to maximize battery run time.

WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer With Windows CE 5.0 User Manual 105Chapter 5: ConfigurationManage Triggers•In the Manage Triggers screen you’ll see a list of trigger mappings.5.5.6.1 Trigger MappingsA trigger mapping is an association between a particular key on the keyboard and a driver or application, the module(s)– sometimes referred to as “trigger consumer(s)”–of the trigger source. Along with keyboard keys, trigger sources can also be grip triggers, external hardware triggers or software-based. When the specified key is pressed, the trigger consumer (for example, a decoded scanner) is sent a message.Important: It is not possible to have two or more identical mappings—for example [F1] cannot be mapped to the Non-Decoded Scanner twice—even if the trigger type is different.A keyboard key that is used as a trigger source will no longer gen-erate key data or perform its normal function. For example, if the space button is used as a trigger source, it will not be able to send space characters to applications.Double-ClickWhen a key is pressed and released, then pressed again within the configured time (between 0 to 1000 milliseconds), a double-click occurs. See also “Trigger-Press Type” on page 107.

If so, both devices/operations will occur simultaneously. This is not recom-mended in most cases, especially with devices such as Imagers or RFID Readers.It is also possible to map different sources to the same module (trigger consumer)—for example, two different trigger keys can be mapped to the RFID File System.Add KeyOnly existing trigger sources are shown in the Source combo-box. To add a new source to this list, tap on the Add Key button. A dialog will pop up and allow you to select the keyboard key to use as a trigger source.Trigger-Press Type You can enable either an Up/Down or Double Click response to a trigger press. Normally, when a trigger (keyboard key, etc.) is pressed and released, a “trigger down” event is sent to the “owner”—that is, the application receiving the trigger press information—followed by a “trigger up”. If Double Click is chosen in this

The technology is based on a short-range radio link that operates in the ISM band at 2.4 GHz. When two Bluetooth-equipped devices come within a 5 meter range of each other, they can establish a connection. Because Bluetooth utilizes a radio-based link, it does not require a line-of-sight connection in order to communicate. Note: The Bluetooth radio uses an internal antenna.The Bluetooth radio is disabled by default. Before you begin the setup process:•In the Control Panel, tap on the Power icon. • Tap on the Devices tab, and tap in the checkbox next to Enable Bluetooth. Tap on OK. When the radio is enabled, a Bluetooth icon appears the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. It is ready for setup.

Only the names of devices that are within the Bluetooth radio cov-erage range will be retrieved.The Active column indicates whether any service is activated for that device. When a service is activated, the device is displayed in the list even when it is not detected during the scan. The PIN column indicates whether you have a PIN (password) set for the device.At this point you can either query for services or set the PIN for each device. Once you highlight a device in the list box, both the Services and Set PIN buttons become available.ServicesA discovered device may display several service profiles that it can use to communicate, and you will want to activate the type you need. Supported profiles that can be activated include: DUN (Dial-Up Networking service), Printer (serial service), Headset service and LANPPP (LANAccessUsingPPP service). ASync (ActiveSync) is another available profile.• To start the service scan, highlight a device in the Devices tab list, and then click on the Services button or double-click on the device entry.Note: If the remote device is out of reach or turned off, it can take a consider-able amount of time for the Services dialog box to appear—it may appear to be frozen.Once the device’s service profiles are displayed in the Services list box:• Highlight the service to be activated.• Press [SPACE] or right-click to display the Activation menu.The Activation menu contains four options: Activate, Authenticate, Outgoing,and Encrypt.Once the service is successfully activated, the assigned port (if applicable) will appear in the Port column of the Services list box. You can choose to use BSP or COM as the port name. BSP is the latest Microsoft Bluetooth stack standard, but older applications assume serial ports are COM. When using COM as the port name, the Bluetooth manager will try to find and use a free port between COM7 and COM9. When using BSP as the port name, BSP2 to BSP9 are available for use. The port is available as soon as it is activated.
