Getting to Know Your Workabout Pro4 2 - 5
The [Power] Button
The [Power] button in the lower left corner of the keyboard switches the unit on and off.
Standard Keys
The [ENTER] Key
The [ENTER] key is used to execute the usual Enter keyboard functions.
The [SHIFT] Key
The [SHIFT] key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and to provide access to other symbols and
functions on the numeric keyboards. Press the [SHIFT] key to turn the shift state 'on' (it will be represented in
the shift-state indicator in the navigation bar at the top of the screen), then press another key to access the
shifted function of that key.
Press the [SHIFT] key twice to lock the shift state on (the shift-state will be outlined in a black frame to indicate
it is locked ‘on’). It is now in CAPS LOCK mode. Press [SHIFT] again to turn the shift state off.
The Arrow Keys
The [Arrow] keys are located near the top of the keyboard, and are represented on the keyboard as triangles
pointing in different directions. The [Arrow] keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the
arrow: up, down, left and right. The left arrow key should not be confused with the [BACKSPACE] key which is
depicted as a left arrow. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next
character you type will appear.
The [BACKSPACE/DEL] Key
The [BACKSPACE] key (represented on the keyboard as an arrow pointing left) moves the cursor one char-
acter to the left, erasing the previous key stroke.
The [DEL] key ([FN] +[BACKSPACE]) erases the character at the current cursor position.
The [CTRL] and [ALT] Key
The [CTRL] and [ALT] keys modify the function of the next key pressed and are application dependent.
Pressing either key twice locks it 'on'. Pressing the key once again unlocks it.
The [TAB] Key
Typically, the [TAB] key moves the cursor to the next field to the right or downward.
The [ESC] Key
Generally, this key is used as a keyboard shortcut to close the current menu, dialog box, or activity.
The [SPACE] Key
The [SPACE] key is represented on the keyboard by a long, horizontal line bracketed by a small vertical line on
each side. Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialog box, pressing the
[SPACE] key enables or disables a checkbox.
The [SCAN] Key
The Workabout Pro4 is equipped with a single [SCAN] key at the top of the keyboard and two [SCAN] buttons
located on the left and right sides of the unit. [SCAN] keys activate the scanner beam. For units that do not
have internal scanners, these keys can be remapped to serve other functions.
