3.2 The Internal Backup Battery
The 8525 G2/8530 G2 vehicle-mount is equipped with an internal battery that will
provide backup power to the unit for up to fifteen minutes of normal operation.
After 15 minutes, the unit will shut off to preserve the contents of RAM.
The backup battery is not
user accessible. It must be replaced by authorized Psion
Teklogix personnel.
3.3 The Keyboard
The 8525 G2/8530 G2 offers three keyboard layouts – Qwerty, ABC and Azerty.
The 8530 G2 is equipped with an external keyboard offering the same layouts as the
8525 G2 vehicle-mount.
Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much like a desktop computer. If a key
or key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, the differences are noted.
Note: On the 8530 G2, a soft keyboard that is an exact replica of the external
keyboard is available. Refer to “Input Panel” on page 134 for details.
3.3.1 Modifier Keys
The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [BLUE] ad [ORANGE] keys are modifier keys.
Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. For example, 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.
The [SHIFT], [CTRL] and [ALT] keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except
that they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key
must be pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.
