Restriction On Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2002/95/EC
Preliminary Draft 3
What is RoHS?
The European Union has mandated that high environmental standards be met in the design
and manufacture of electronic and electrical products sold in Europe, to reduce hazardous
substances from entering the environment. The “Restriction on Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS)” prescribes the maximum trace levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and flame retardants PBB and PBDE that may be contained in a product.
Only products meeting these high environmental standards may be “placed on the market”
in EU member states after July 1, 2006.
RoHS Logo
Although there is no legal requirement to mark RoHS-compliant products, Psion Teklogix
Inc. indicates its compliance with the directive as follows:
The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or underneath the battery in the
battery compartment (or on a related accessory such as the charger or docking station) signifies that the product is RoHS-compliant as per the EU directive. Other than as noted below,
a Psion Teklogix product that does not have an accompanying RoHS logo signifies that it
was placed on the EU market prior to July 1, 2006, and is thereby exempt from the directive.
Note: Not all accessories or peripherals will have a RoHS logo due to physical space
limitations or as a result of their exempt status.

Preparing The 7545 For Operation
2.2 Preparing The 7545 For Operation
Typically, 7545 Hand-Held Computers are configured at the factory and arrive ready for use.
Although these computers are equipped with an internal Compact Flash and SD I/O slot,
these slots are not intended for user modification. If a device needs to be changed or added
in these slots, contact qualified Psion Teklogix personnel.
2.2.1 Equipment You Need To Get Started
You’ll need:
• A compatible battery charger, docking station or portable docking module (PDM)
with power supply.
• An operating wireless network (if you are not operating the equipment in
batch mode).
• A medium (#2) Phillips head screwdriver (if you need to attach a carrying strap or
pistol grip handle).
2.3 Powering Up The 7545
Note: Psion Teklogix offers a Portable Docking Module (PDM) along with its power sup-
ply to help speed the checkout and confirmation process for your 7545. The PDM
can power your computer with or without a battery installed in the unit. Refer to
Chapter 6: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories” for more information about
this accessory.
2.3.1 Charging The Battery
Important: The 7545 uses a high capacity lithium-ion battery. Before charging the bat-
tery, it is critical that you review the battery safety guidelines in the 7545
Hand-Held Computer Regulatory & Warranty Guide (PN 8000191).
Batteries shipped from the factory are not charged. They must be fully charged prior to use.

2.7 Configuring An IEEE 802.11 Radio In The Unit
The most common 802.11 settings are configured as defaults. However, there are some
fields that must be completed, including the SSID of your access point and the security
methods implemented in the network (including access keys).
Note: In most situations the configuration of your 802.11 radio will require parameters,
settings, and access keys from a network administrator.
Network administrators should review the detailed security information in this sec-
tion in order to effectively configure the 802.11 wireless network.
Important: If the 7545 is equipped with a radio that has never been configured, the
To configure the 802.11 radio:

Important: Keep in mind that the 7545 will only communicate with access points that
are configured with the same SSID.
Ad Hoc And Infrastructure
If you are using an Infrastructure network—one in which 7545s must pass data through
an access point—leave the checkbox next to This is an ad hoc network blank.
If you are using an Ad Hoc network—a network in which 7545s pass data directly to
other 7545s without an access point—highlight This is an ad hoc network, and add a
checkmark in the checkbox to enable Ad Hoc.
Encryption
WEP (Wired-Equivalent Privacy) encryption prevents others from accidentally accessing your network. If you are not using encryption, you can choose Disabled from the
drop-down encryption menu. Otherwise, leave this field as is.
Note: WEP cannot be disabled if you are using WPA or WPA-PSK authentication.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is an encryption protocol included as part of
the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LANs. Designed to enhance WEP, TKIP uses the
original WEP encryption but ‘wraps’ additional code at the beginning and end to encapsulate and modify it, encrypting each data packet with a unique encryption key.
Authentication
802.11 supports four subtypes of network authentication services: Open, Shared, WPA,
and WPA-PSK. Under Open authentication, any wireless station can request authentica-
tion. The station that needs to authenticate with another wireless station sends an
authentication management frame that contains the identity of the sending station. The
receiving station then sends back a frame that indicates whether it recognizes the identity of the sending station.
Under Shared authentication, each wireless station is assumed to have received a secret
shared key over a secure channel that is independent from the 802.11 wireless network
communications channel.
Under WPA and WPA-PSK authentication, the use of 802.1x authentication is required.
For wireless networks without a Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service
(RADIUS) infrastructure, WPA supports the use of a preshared key. For wireless networks with a RADIUS infrastructure, Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and
RADIUS is supported.

802.1X is the IEEE standard that offers additional security for local area networks. It
provides authentication for user devices attached to an Ethernet network, whether wired
or wireless. A security protocol packet such as TLS or MD5 encapsulated in an EAP is
used in conjunction with the 802.1X standard to authenticate users at the MAC layer.
Available EAPs are listed in the drop-down menu next to the EAP option.
• To activate 802.1X, highlight 802.1x authentication, and check the checkbox.
EAP Type (Extensible Authentication Protocol)
This drop-down menu lists the EAP types available on your system. The items in this down menu will vary depending on your network setup. Keep in mind also that some
authentication protocols require that you select a Certificate. By selecting the Properties
button, you will be able to select a Certificate. “Certificates” on page 96 outlines how to
create certificates for your network.

3.1 The Battery
Preliminary Draft 3
The hand-held operates with a lithium-ion battery pack. Preparing the unit for operation requires that a battery pack be charged and installed in the 7545.
3.1.1 Battery Safety
Important: Before attempting to install, use or charge the battery pack, it is critical that
you review and follow the important safety guidelines in the 7545 HandHeld Computer Regulatory & Warranty Guide (PN 8000191).
3.1.2 Removing And Installing The Battery Pack
Important: Always switch the unit off before changing the battery. If you do not turn
the hand-held off before removing the battery, it may be necessary to reboot
the unit. Any active sessions may be lost. While the battery is being
replaced, the 7545 will save its current data for up to 20 minutes.
Removing The Battery Pack
• If your unit is equipped with a hand strap, unhook it from the base of the battery.
• Press down the release tab at the top of the battery, and slide the battery out.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7545
The Battery
Note: If your hand-held is equipped with a battery contact protective gasket
(P/N 1020250), to remove the battery, you will need to hold the 7545 face down with
both hands, making certain that your fingers are not touching the keypad. Press
down firmly on the battery release with both thumbs and slide the battery out.
Installing The Battery Pack
To install the battery pack:
• Slide the battery pack with the contoured plastic facing you into the 7545. Click the
battery into place.

Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
Preliminary Draft 3
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7545
• Quad Docking Station (Model #HU4004): can charge the battery of up to four handhelds inserted in the docking station while transferring data through an Ethernet
connection.
• Powered Cradle (Model # HU1010): can charge the hand-held with the battery installed
in the hand-held.
It can take from 1.5 to 4 hours to charge a battery. The unit’s intelligent charging system protects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at
maximum capacity.
Note: Refer to “Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time” on page 41 for addi-
tional information about the battery.
Important: To avoid damaging the battery, chargers will not begin the charge process
until the battery temperature is between 0° C (32° F) and 39° C (102° F). If
the battery is too hot or cold, the battery status LED flashes yellow and the
charge is suspended. Refer to Table 3.1: “Charge LEDs” on page 53 for
details.
3.1.4 Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
Under normal operating conditions, fully charged batteries last for 8 hours. As lithium-ion
batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally considered depleted
after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original capacity remaining). Keep in
mind however that heavy usage or operating the 7545 at temperature extremes will shorten
the battery life.
Lithium-ion batteries do not require conditioning cycles and the 7545 battery system (including chargers) requires no user interaction to maintain peak performance.
To maximize the run time of your batteries, consider the following:
• The display backlight is the largest drain on the battery. Try to keep its brightness as low
as possible. Adjusting the keyboard backlight also helps.
• The hand-held is ‘event’ driven. That is, when the unit is not in use, it reverts to sleep
mode (even when it appears to be running), saving battery power. Events include a key
press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers. Power consumption is reduced if you avoid
unnecessary events, and allow the unit to sleep as much as possible.
Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 41
Page 50
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7545
Preliminary Draft 3
Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time
• The hand-held battery is a ‘smart battery’ with built-in intelligence. The taskbar battery
icon is a linear gauge used to estimate the remaining run time of the battery. It is important to note that the battery capacity icon displays quarter percentages of nominal
capacity (the capacity of a new battery). An aged battery, even when fully charged,
shows somewhat less capacity than nominal.
Double-tapping on the battery icon displays a dialog box that provides detailed information
about the battery status and performance. If the remaining capacity indication seems inaccurate, the battery may need recalibration. Recalibration requires that the battery be fully
charged, discharged and then charged again before use. If the battery is fully discharged and
charged on a regular basis, recalibration should not be necessary.
• When the hand-held is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend state but continues to draw a small amount of power from the battery. This should not be an issue unless
the unit is left in suspend state for more than a week—in this case, the battery should be
removed.
• Batteries left unused for durations of more than one or two months should be fully
charged, operated in the hand-held until the battery is empty (i.e. the low battery
warning appears), and then charged again before use. This recalibrates the gas gauge
and allows the internal electronics to determine the actual capacity of the battery. See
“Battery Gas Gauge Calibration” on page 176 for a detailed discussion of battery
calibration.
3.1.4.1 Storing Batteries
Long term battery storage is not recommended. If storage is necessary:
• Always try to use a ‘first-in first-out’ approach to minimize storage time.
• Lithium-ion batteries age much faster at elevated temperatures. Store batteries at temperatures between 0° C and 20°C.
• Always charge batteries to 40 to 60% before storing them. Batteries can be damaged by
an over-discharge phenomenon that occurs when an empty battery is stored for a long
period of time such that the cell voltage drops below a lower limit.
• To minimize storage degradation, recharge stored batteries to 40 to 60% every 4 or 6
months to prevent over-discharge damage.
• A ‘never used’ Li-Ion battery that has been stored for 3 years may have limited or no
useful life remaining once put into service. Think of batteries as perishable goods.

3.2 Switching The Hand-Held On And Off
Preliminary Draft 3
Switching On The Unit
• Press and hold down the [ENTER/ON] key for at least one second.
• When all four LEDs flash yellow, release the [ENTER/ON] button.
Note: If the 7545 is in suspend state, pressing [ENTER/ON] key ‘wakes’ the unit from this
state. The screen in which you were working before the computer entered suspend
state is displayed.
Switching Off The Unit
Important: Keep in mind that turning off the 7545 does not result in a complete reboot;
rather, the unit enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the 7545 is
turned on from suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds.
To switch off the 7545:
• 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” and the 7545 will not switch
off. Press the [BLUE] key twice followed by [ENTER/ON] to switch the
7545 off.
If, however, you’ve disabled the “Blue Key” in the ‘One Shot’ dialog box
(see “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 105), the 7545 can be turned off
even when the [BLUE] key is locked ‘on’.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7545
Switching The Hand-Held On And Off
3.3 The Keyboard
The 7545 offers two types of keyboard layouts: a 58-key keyboard and a 36-key, large
button 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.
Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual 43

3.3.1.2 Locking Modifier Keys
Preliminary Draft 3
When a modifier key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked’ on. A ‘locked’ modifier key is displayed
in uppercase letters in the taskbar. For example, pressing the [BLUE] key twice locks it
on—it is displayed as BLUE KEY in the taskbar at the bottom of the computer screen.
The locked modifier key will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock or turn it
off. Once a modifier key is unlocked, the uppercase representation at the bottom of the
screen is no longer displayed.
Note: The locking function of the [ORANGE] and [BLUE] keys can be disabled so that
pressing either of these keys once will lock the keys ‘on’.
If you disable the ‘One Shot’ function of either of these keys, pressing the [BLUE]
and/or [ORANGE] key once will lock the key ‘on’. Pressing the same key a second
time will unlock or turn it ‘off’. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 105
for details.

3.3.6 The Keypad Backlight
The intensity of the keypad backlight and the conditions under which this backlight is activated can be configured using the Keyboard icon in the Windows CE Control Panel. The
behaviour of the keypad backlight is tailored in the Keyboard Properties dialog box. Refer to
“Keyboard Backlight” on page 104 for details about this option.
Note: Keep in mind that this option may be restricted to supervisory use only.
3.4 The Display
7545s are equipped with display backlighting to improve character visibility in low light
conditions. The backlight switches on when a key is pressed and the ambient light is below
the set threshold. A light sensor on the front of the hand-held determines the ambient light
level. On some displays, the contrast can also be adjusted to further improve character
visibility.
3.4.1 Adjusting The Display Backlight
The behaviour of the display backlight (the ambient light threshold below which the backlight will become active) and the intensity of the backlight can be specified in the Display
Properties dialog box in the Control Panel.
Note: Refer to “Backlight” on page 99 for details about the Display Properties dialog
box.

Internal Scanners
3.6 Internal Scanners
Important: For detailed scanner specifications and decode zone tables, refer to “Inter-
nal Scanners and Imagers” on page 202.
The 7545 supports a wide range of scanner options to address a variety of user application
requirements. The scanner installed in your unit can be configured using the Scanner Set-
tings dialog box in the Control Panel (see page 135) and the Manage Triggers application
(see page 113). External, non-decoded scanners are also configured through the Scanner
Settings and Manage Triggers applications.
However, external decoded scanners must be configured by scanning special configuration
bar codes. In these cases, the scanner manufacturer provides programming manuals for configuration purposes.
• For Symbol decoded scanners, refer to the LS3408 Programming Guide
• For Symbol non-decoded scanners, refer to the LS3200 Programming Guide.
• For PowerScan® (PSC) decoded and non-decoded scanners, refer to the PowerScan
Programing Guide (PSC).
Scanner types include:
• Advanced Long Range: reads very large 1D bar codes (60 mil+) at very long distances
(up to 14m).
• Long Range: reads large 1D bar codes (55 mil) at long distances (up to 3m).
• High Performance: reads 1D linear bar codes (5 - 55 mil) at medium distances (up to
1m).
• Extended Range: reads regular 1D bar codes (5 - 55mil) at short to medium distances
(1m), as well as large 1D bar codes (e.g. 55 mil) at long distances.
• RFID: The RD7950 UHF RFID Reader is an EPC-compliant 900MHz RFID reader
which can be integrated with laser bar code scanning or imaging.
• Fuzzy Logic: reads damaged or low contrast regular 1D bar codes (5 - 55mil) at medium
distances (up to 1m).
• PDF Raster Laser: reads 2D PDF bar codes or regular 1D bar codes at short to medium
distances.
• 2D Imager: reads regular 1D and all 2D bar codes at short to medium distances.
• 1D Imager: reads regular 1D and PDF417 bar codes at short to medium distances.
It is critical that you review the “Laser Warnings” in the 7545 Hand-Held Computer Regula-
tory & Warranty Guide (PN 8000191) before using any of the scanners described in this
58 Psion Teklogix 7545 Hand-Held Computer User Manual
Page 65
chapter. “Scanning Techniques” on page 59 outlines the mechanics of a successful scan. In
Preliminary Draft 3
addition, review “Scan LED Indicators” on page 59 to better understand how to interpret
whether or not a bar code has been successfully scanned. Finally, “Troubleshooting” on
page 60 provides some helpful suggestions should the scan fail.
3.6.1 Scanning Techniques
Note: The scanning techniques described here apply to internal and external scanners.
• Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the bar code.
• Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can reflect back
into the scanner’s exit window and prevent a successful decode.
• Scan the entire bar code. If you are using a 1D or PDF laser scanner, make certain that
the scan beam crosses every bar and space on the bar code, including the margins on
either end of the symbol.
• If you are using a 2D imaging scanner, make certain the red, oval shaped framing mark
is centered within the bar code you want to scan.
• When using imaging scanners, do not move the scanner while decoding the bar code.
Movement blurs the image.
• Hold the scanner farther away for larger bar codes.
• Hold the scanner closer for bar codes with bars that are close together.
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7545
Scanning Techniques
3.6.2 Scan LED Indicators
The scanner LED (the lower-left LED) indicates whether or not your scan is successful. The
LED behaves as follows:
• Scan In Progress: scan LED displays solid red colour.
• Successful Scan: scan LED displays solid green colour and turns off when the scan is
ended.
• Unsuccessful scan: scan LED flashes red.
A bar code icon appears on the screen during a scan. While the scanner beam is active, the
onscreen message states: SCANNING. If you want to turn off the onscreen message, disable
“Scan Indication” in the Options tab of the Scanner Settings menu in the Control Panel
When the scan is successful, the bar code data is displayed on the screen until the scan
button (or pistol trigger) is released, but only if “Scan Result” is turned on in the Options tab
of the Scanner Settings menu in the Control Panel.

Troubleshooting
3.6.3 Troubleshooting
If the scanner is not working, investigate the following:
• Is the unit on?
• Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the hand-held you are
using. Check any other parameters that affect the scanning procedure or the bar code.
• Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different bar code to
verify that the problem is not with the bar code.
• Check that the bar code is within the proper range.
• Does the hand-held display the warning without scanning? This suggests a hardware
problem in the hand-held.
• Is the laser beam scanning across the bar code?
• Once the scan beam has stopped, check the scanner window for dirt or fogging.
3.6.4 Operating One Dimensional (1D) Internal Laser Scanners
• Turn the hand-held on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
Important: If an aiming dot is available on the installed scanner, the dot will be enabled
for a configurable time period (including off), after which normal scanning
begins. Refer to “Dot Time (msec)” on page C-8 for details.
Double-clicking the trigger will override the aiming delay and initiate an
immediate scan. Note that the aiming dot is standard on long-range and
high visibility internal scanners.
• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. A scan beam and a warning
indicator appear until a successful decode is achieved or six seconds have elapsed.
3.6.5 Operating Internal PDF Laser Scanners
This scanner decodes PDF417 two-dimensional bar codes.
• Turn the hand-held on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. The beam expands into a rectangle covering the bar code to properly scan it. The scan beam and a warning indicator
are visible until a successful decode is achieved or three seconds have elapsed.

Operating Internal Two Dimensional (2D) Imager Scanners
Preliminary Draft 3
Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7545
3.6.6 Operating Internal Two Dimensional (2D) Imager Scanners
An imager scanner takes a snap shot of a single bar code or multiple bar codes (at one time).
It can find a bar code regardless of its orientation—that is, even a bar code printed at a 45
degree angle to the hand-held will be decoded successfully.
Note: When scanning multiple bar codes, ensure that all of the desired bar codes are
within the field of view of the scanner. It is possible that even when all bar codes are
within the field of view, not all of them will be decoded. Only successfully decoded
bar codes are passed to the application program. The application program then
issues a warning, asking that you scan the missing bar codes.
When scanning a single bar code, ensure that only the desired bar code is within the
field of view of the scanner.
Because imager scanners generally have a shorter depth of field than laser scanners, some
practise may be required to find the optimal distance from the types of bar codes being
scanned. Although the imager includes illumination LEDs, ambient light will help the
imager decode the bar codes, especially if the bar code is far from the hand-held.
Important: Keep in mind that the imager scanner is a camera, and the LED illumina-
tion is a flash. Glare can be an issue on reflective media such as plastic
coated bar codes, just as glare is an issue for photographers. When pointing
at a shiny surface, either shift the bar code to the side or top, or angle the
bar code so that the glare reflects away from the imager scanner.
Most imagers take several ‘snap shots’ of the bar code in order to decode it.
It is normal for the LEDs to flash two or three times. Hold the unit steady
between flashes to improve decode performance.
• Turn the hand-held computer on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. Hold the trigger until a successful or failed scan result is obtained.
• When the scan button or trigger is pressed, a red, oval shaped light (the framing marker)
is displayed. Centre the framing marker in the field—either in the centre of the bar code
you want to scan or in the centre of the area in which multiple bar codes are to be
scanned.
The illumination LEDs will flash (typically several times) and a picture of the bar code(s)
is taken.

Uploading Data In A Docking Station
3.9 Uploading Data In A Docking Station
The Combo Docking and Quad Docking peripherals allow your hand-held to link to an
Ethernet network. They are typically used to upload transaction data to a server computer
when a radio link is not available. When a 7545 is properly inserted in a docking station, a
dock icon is displayed in the taskbar at the bottom of the unit screen. The hand-held also
detects the presence of the Ethernet network. Review the documentation provided with the
user application installed in your 7545 before preforming data uploads.
3.10 General Maintenance
3.10.1 Caring For The Touchscreen
The touchscreen is covered with a thin, flexible polyester plastic sheet with a conductive
coating on the inside. The polyester can be permanently damaged by harsh chemicals and is
susceptible to abrasions and scratches. Using sharp objects on the touchscreen can scratch or
cut the plastic, or crack the internal conductive coating. The chemicals listed below must not
come into contact with the touchscreen:
• mustard, ketchup
• sodium hydroxide,
• concentrated caustic solutions,
• benzyl alcohol, and
• concentrated acids.
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen protector (P/N HU6110). These covers reduce the clarity of the display slightly but will
dramatically extend the useful life of the touchscreen. When they become scratched and
abraded, they are easily removed and replaced.
3.10.2 Cleaning The 7545
Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent
to wipe the unit clean.
To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen) supplied
with your 7545.
• Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.

Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your 7545
Preliminary Draft 3
Cleaning The 7545
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The 7545 has a
plastic case that is susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils,
mineral spirits and gasoline. The plastic slowly decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.
• To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.

Navigating In Windows CE And Applications
4.1 Navigating In Windows CE And Applications
Note: In order to access many of the menus discussed in this chapter, the security level
must be set to ‘Supervisor’ (see “Security Settings” on page 76).
Graphic user interfaces like Windows CE for portable devices and desktop Windows (2000,
XP, etc.) utilize ‘point and click’ navigation. An equivalent keyboard shortcut is also available for every ‘point and click’ action.
Windows CE supports the same ‘point and click’ user interface and keyboard shortcuts as
desktop Windows with one difference—the ‘point and click’ action is accomplished using a
touchscreen rather than a mouse. Actions can be performed using any combination of keyboard shortcuts or touchscreen tapping.
4.1.1 Navigating Using A Touchscreen And Stylus
Note: If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, the touchscreen
may need recalibration. Refer to “Calibrating The Touchscreen” on page 51.
A touchscreen is an optional feature on 7545s. A hand-held equipped with a touchscreen
comes equipped with a stylus—a pointing tool that looks like a pen—stored in a slot at the
top of the unit. The stylus is used to select objects on the touchscreen.
Note: To prevent damage to the touchscreen, use only the stylus (pen) supplied with
your 7545.
To choose an icon, open a file, launch an applet or open a folder:
• Double-tap the stylus on the appropriate icon.
4.1.2 Navigating Using The Keyboard
If your 7545 has a standard screen (rather than a touchscreen), choosing icons and navigating dialog boxes, displaying the desktop, and so on requires keyed input. If your unit has
already been fully configured and your application is launched at startup, you’ll have little
need for keyboard navigation, but you can refer to Table 4.1: “Keyboard Navigation” on
page 70 for a description of the navigation keys.
