Tapping on a keyboard icon on the taskbar the
menu of the touch screen input opens. (Be aware that
the icon can also be a handwriting one.) With the menu
you can select either a soft keyboard or a transcriber as
default input technique on the touch screen. Selecting
the input method on the menu triggers it’s input panel
as well. In addition to the selection of the touch screen input method and to the
trigger for its panel, the menu has an item to hide the input panel, that is, to
suspend the input method. Be aware that a ‘square’ key on the keypad toggles the
touch screen input panel by default.
Tapping the Desktop icon and after that selecting
‘Desktop’ menu item you can minimize all the windows
you have open on the screen apart from the control
panel applets having ‘NID’ as part of their name.
In an annunciator area on the taskbar the various
subsystems running behind the scenes notify you of
their status by showing the icon being appropriate at a
particular moment. Tapping the announciator icon you can get further information
about the status and even more. However, not all of the background services
provide dialog for user.
In the annunciator area the time is shown by
default. If you double tab on that display space the
dialog window of a Date/Time control panel applet
opens. The subsystem showing the clock on the taskbar is the taskbar itself. You
can enable and disable the time-shown property in the property sheet of the
taskbar.
Note! Nordic ID PL3000 has no Real Time Clock chip, meaning that the
system does not maintain the time over the resets other than a warm boot.
