side. Some of these are user-configurable via the Soft Keypad Settings icon in the
Control Panel.

This icon is user-definable.Left-clicking displays the Control Panel.
Right-clicking displays the command shell.

Left-clicking displays the Brightness/Contrast control panel. Right-
clicking is inactive.

Important:

Battery life is considerably reduced when the brightness
is increased.

Explorer:

This icon is user-definable. Left-clicking displays the Windows
Explorer. Right-clicking displays Internet Explorer.

Keyboard:

Left-clicking displays the Software Input Panel (SIP), the on-screen
keyboard. Right-clicking is inactive.

System command icon:

Left-clicking displays the Start Menu. Right-clicking displays the Soft Keypad
Settings control panel.

2.6 How To Reset The netpad

If you find that you cannot exit a program normally, right-click on the taskbar and
select Task Manager from the context menu. Select the task that appears to be unre-
sponsive and click on the End Task button.

If this does not work, or if your netpad appears to have “locked up”, you can always
perform a “soft reset”. This should restart your netpad while preserving most of
your information. It is worth trying a soft reset if the keys on the netpad do not
appear to respond, or if the netpad appears to switch on and you are sure that the bat-
teries are good, but the screen is otherwise blank.
