• In an application, use the terminal’s screen as a viewport to see a full-size terminal
screen of 25 lines by 80 characters.
• Adjust the display’s backlight, contrast, and audio signal volume from the keypad.
• Use the terminal’s icons to monitor the status of special keys, battery power, RF and
network communications, and viewport movement.
