Input Panel (Virtual Keyboard)
The Input Panel may be enabled via the Input Panel icon in the Windows CE .NET Control
Panel. The Input Panel can be displayed as a large or small keyboard.
Virtual keyboards display the actual character a keypress results in. For example, pressing the
<Shift> key on the virtual keyboard toggles the characters displayed on the keys between
upper and lower case. The <123> key toggles the keys displayed between alphabetic and
numeric characters. The <áü> key toggles the keys between standard and international
symbols. The <Shift> and <áü> keys can be used in combination for capitalized international
characters.
Note: When the virtual keyboard is displayed, the physical keyboard is still active. Therefore
it is possible to input data from both keyboards.

Power Supply
Vehicle power input for the VX6 is 12V to 80V DC and is accepted without the need to perform
any manual adjustments within the VX6. See the section titled “Installation”, sub-section titled
“Vehicle 12-80V DC Direct Connection”. An optional Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
battery pack is available for the vehicle power supply connection.
If 12V to 80V DC power is not available – for example, in an office environment – an optional
external Input Power Supply can be used to convert AC wall power to an appropriate DC level.
See the section titled “Installation”, sub-section titled “External Power Supply”.
Power input is fused for protection and the fuse is externally accessible. See section titled
“Installation”, sub-section titled “Fuse Replacement for the VX6”.
