Chapter 1 — Using the CK30 Handheld Computer
12 CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual
Using the Color-Coded Keys
Each keypad available for the CK30 provides color-coded keys
to let you access additional characters, symbols, and functions
printed on the keypad overlay. Once you understand how to use
the color-coded keys and key sequences, you will know how to
access all of the additional features printed on the keypad
overlay. There are two color-coded modifier keys on the CK30:
the orange B key and the green C key.
You press and release the first key and then press and release the
second key to access the color-coded character or function
printed above a key.
