Options are: Off, Short, Medium or Long.
Vibration can also be adjusted by tapping the speaker icon in the top right corner of the Start screen. A Volume window
opens. Tap the Vibrate radio button to toggle vibration on and off. Vibration duration can be set using the Data Collection
control panels.
Tapping the Touch Screen with a Stylus
Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touch screen.
Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive object to write on the touch screen.
Hold the stylus as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch an element on the screen with the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus from
the screen. Firmly press the stylus into the stylus holder when the stylus is not in use.
Using a stylus is similar to moving the mouse pointer then left-clicking icons on a desktop computer screen. Using the stylus to
tap icons on the touch screen is the basic action that can:
• Open applications
• Choose menu commands
• Select options in dialog boxes or drop-down boxes
• Drag the slider in a scroll bar
• Select text by dragging the stylus across the text
• Place the cursor in a text box prior to typing in data
• Place the cursor in a text box prior to retrieving data using a scanner/imager or an input/output device connected to a serial
port.
A right-click can be simulated by touching the touch screen with the stylus and holding it for a short time. A stylus replacement
kit is available.
Calibrating the Touch Screen
If the touch screen is not responding properly to stylus taps, you may need to recalibrate the touch screen.
Recalibration involves tapping the center of a target. If you miss the center, keep the stylus on the screen, slide it over the
target's center, and then lift the stylus.
To recalibrate the screen, select Start > Settings > System > Screen > General tab. To begin, tap the Align Screen button on
the display with the stylus.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
Adjusting the Display Backlight Brightness
When the display backlight is on, press the Blue key and then press either Scan key.
• Use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to adjust backlight brightness until the display lightens or darkens to your satisfaction.
• Press any key, except the up arrow or down arrow keys, to exit this mode.
At the minimum dimness level, the display is still viewable. The brightness setting is recalled upon a return from Suspend and
also upon a warm reset/boot.
Note: The brightness of the keypad backlight is not affected by display brightness adjustments or the display brightness default
setting.
Adjusting the Display Backlight Timer
The backlight settings use the Honeywell set of default timeouts. When the backlight timer expires, the display backlight is
dimmed, not turned off. When both check boxes are unchecked, the backlight never turns off (or dims). Default values are 30
seconds for Battery, 1 minute for External and both the check boxes are enabled.
Applying the Touch Screen Protective Film
First, clean the touch screen of fingerprints, lint particles, dust and smudges.
