Frequently Asked Questions Page 19
General questions and answers
Does the keyboard require batteries?
No. The keyboard is designed to use an extremely low amount of
power from your handheld.
Can I use the same keyboard for all handhelds?
No. The keyboard is available in several versions, depending on your
handheld model. Please check the packaging for handheld
compatibility.
Can I perform a HotSync
®
operation on the
handheld while using the keyboard?
No. The keyboard does not replace the functionality of your cradle. To
perform a HotSync operation after entering data with the keyboard,
remove your handheld from the keyboard and place it in your cradle.
Then press the HotSync button.
Does the keyboard support international
characters?
Yes. You can enter international characters in two ways:
Use keyboard shortcuts: Use the function key (Fn) in combination with
another key to add accent marks to letters you type and to type punctuation
marks. See “Extended character set” earlier in this book.
For example, to type the
ö in Köln, type the o, and then press Fn and ;
(function key and semicolon). The umlaut appears over the
o.
Use the Alt key on the portable keyboard: When you press and hold
down the Alt key, the next key you press produces the character
corresponding to that location on your handheld’s onscreen
international keyboard.
For example, to type the
ö in Köln, press and hold down Alt; then press
c on your portable keyboard.
