Switching Off The Unit
Important: Keep in mind that turning off the 7535/7530 does not result in a
complete reboot; rather, the unit enters a power-saving,
“suspend” state. When the 7535/7530 is turned on from suspend
state, operation resumes within a few seconds.
To switch off the 7535/7530:
• Press the <BLUE> key, and then press the <ENTER/ON> key.
Important: If the word ‘BLUE’ is displayed in uppercase
in the taskbar area
at the bottom of the screen, this key is locked “on” – the
7535/7530 will not switch off. Press the <BLUE> key twice fol-
lowed by <ENTER/ON> to switch the 7535/7530 off.
If, however, you’ve disabled the “Blue Key” in the ‘One Shot’
dialog box (see “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 100), the
7535/7530 can be turned off even when the <BLUE> key is
locked ‘on’.
3.5 The Keyboard
The 7535 offers two types of keyboard layouts – a 58-key keyboard and a 36-key,
large button keyboard. The 7530 also offers two types of keyboard layouts – a
63-key and a 37-key keyboard. Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much
like a desktop computer. Where a key or key function is not consistent with the PC
keyboard, the differences are noted.
The <BLUE> and <ORANGE> modifier keys provide access to additional keys and
system functions. These functions are colour coded in orange and blue print above
the keyboard keys.
3.5.1 Modifier Keys
The <SHIFT>, <CTRL>, <ALT>, <BLUE> and <ORANGE> keys are modifier
keys. Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. For
example, on a 7535 58-key keyboard, a square bracket is printed in orange print
above the <4> key. Pressing the <ORANGE> key followed by the <4> key displays
a square bracket rather than the number 4.
