Every key has a unique scancode that is mapped to a virtual key, a function or a macro. Scancode Remap-ping 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/Power] key, etc.), perform a function (e.g. turn the scanner on, change volume, etc.) or run a macro.There are three different tables of scancode mappings: the Normal table, the FN table and the SYM table.Note: To add a shifted state, [SHIFT] and/or [CTRL], press [TAB] to position the cursor in the checkbox next to ‘SHIFT Pressed’ and/or ‘CTRL Pressed’. Press [SPACE] to select the shift state you want to assign.Draft 1](https://usermanual.wiki/Psion/7545MBW.Users-Manual-1F/User-Guide-1507326-Page-122.png)
![Chapter 5: ConfigurationKeyboard Properties108 Psion Teklogix Omnii Hand-Held Computer User ManualThe Normal table defines unmodified key presses; the FN table defines key presses that occur when the [FN] modifier is on; the SYM table defines key presses that occur when the [SYM] 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 Prop-erties 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 la-belled ‘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.The Remap Scancode dialog box is displayed.Note: When using the Mobile Devices SDK Developers' Guide (P/N 8100016), note that the [ORANGE] key is interchangeable with the [SYM] key.

![Chapter 5: ConfigurationManage Triggers112 Psion Teklogix Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual5.5.6.1 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, the external trigger (scan button) is software-based. When the specified key is pressed, the owner (for example, a decoded scanner) is sent amessage.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 114.Show All ModulesBy default, the trigger mapping list only shows active mappings. Mappings for drivers or applications that are not currently active are not normally displayed. By checking this checkbox, all mappings, both active and inactive, are displayed.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 generate 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.Draft 1](https://usermanual.wiki/Psion/7545MBW.Users-Manual-1F/User-Guide-1507326-Page-127.png)

When the time in the Suspend Timeout field elapses without any activity, the unit enters suspend state. In suspend state, the Omnii CPU enters a sleep state, and wireless communi-cation is shut off. The state of the device (RAM contents) is preserved. Pressing [ENTER] wakes the system from suspend state. 5.5.8.3 Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery BackupThe Suspend Threshold adjustment tells the system when to shut down when the battery drains. If you choose Maximum Operating Time, the unit will run until the battery is com-pletely 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: Psion Teklogix recommends setting the Suspend value to 3 minutes. To further reduce power consumption, carefully consider the duration of time that the display backlight is ‘on’ (see “Backlight” on page 97).Draft 1](https://usermanual.wiki/Psion/7545MBW.Users-Manual-1F/User-Guide-1507326-Page-132.png)
