Function Keys
Function keys perform a specific function.
Key
Function
<BK SP>
(Backspace)
The function is performed by pressing the <BK SP> key. This moves the cursor back one space and deletes
each time the key is pressed. If text is being typed, a character is deleted each time the key is pressed.
<SPACE>
(Spacebar)
Pressing the <SPACE> key will insert a blank space character at the position of the cursor in a text field.
<FN>
The <FN> key toggles the keyboard between the main keys in white printed on the top of each button (being
the Alpha keys), and the secondary keys in blue printed on the bottom of each button (typically the numeric
keys and some special character keys).
(I.e., when <FN> is pressed once, all characters printed in blue on the bottom of each button on the keypad will
be enabled. When the <FN> key is pressed again, all Alpha characters printed in white on the top of each
button on the keypad will be enabled)
<
↑
>
(Shift)
The <
↑
> (Shift) key toggles Alpha key’s case status for the key pressed following the press of the <
↑
> key.
Pressing the <
↑
> key and holding it in for 3 seconds toggles caps lock status. A blue “A” (
) will be
displayed in the system tray on the iDLMax indicating that the caps log is on. While the caps lock status is on,
the alphabet characters that are selected will be the upper case of the alphabet.
<POWER>
Pressing this key performs the suspend/resume function. This wakes the iDLMax from suspend mode or puts it
in suspend mode. When pressed and hold, options for a complete shutdown will be provided.
<DEL>
(Delete)
Pressing the <DEL> key deletes the next character forward each time the key is pressed.
<TAB>
Depending of the active window, the <TAB> key will either allow the user to change between ‘active’ items in
the window (for example from one button to another, or one field to another), or it will allow the user to enter a
application defined number of spaces (for example 5 spaces will be inserted in a “Word” application).
<SYM>
(Symbols)
The <SYM> key is invoked by first pressing the <FN> key and then this key. It will bring up a Symbols table
with specials characters on the LCD display, allowing the user to select and enter such symbols.
<Esc>
(Escape)
Depending on the active window, pressing the key will close an active window, stop a process from running, or
exit an application.
<ENTER>
The <ENTER> key confirms data entry.
<MENU>
Within any application, the <MENU> key will activate the applicable menu bar of the specific application.
<F1>
<F2>
<F3>
<F4>
The <F1>, <F2>, <F3> and <F4> function keys is invoked by first pressing the <FN> key and then the
applicable key.
These keys are customisable in software and used to perform a specific task.
