contrast icon is blue indicating that the blue function key must be selected first along with the F6 key, to increase
the display contrast.
Keypads
The mobile computer is available with one of three keypads:
• 28-key keypad
• 38-key keypad
• 48-key keypad.
The keypads can be selected as necessary to support specialized applications. The 28, 38 and 48-key keypads
contain a Power button, application keys, scroll keys and function keys. The keypads are color-coded to indicate
the alternate function key (blue) values and the alternate ALPHA key (orange) values. See Table B-8 for the
special character generation. Characters can also be generated using the keyboard input panel. For more
information see,
