• In the Display Properties  dialog box, open the  Appearance tab. This dialog box a llows you to customize 
the display colour scheme.
 Backlight
The backlight is activa ted for a configurable amount of time. The Display Properties  dialog box in the Control

NOTEKeep in mind that this option ma y be restricted to supervisory use only. 
						

							Configuration 3 - 21
Intensity
This parameter is used to adjust the light intensity of the Workabout Pro4 backlight. Sliding the bar to the left 
lowers the light intensity, and s liding it to the right raises the intensity.
Bright For
The value chosen from this drop-down menu determines the durati on of time that the backlight stays on at the 
configured intensity after the la st user action (keypress, scan trigger). 
Dim For
The value chosen from this drop-down menu determines the durati on of time that the backlight stays on at half 
the configured intensity (dimmed backlight) after expiration of  the Bright For delay and as long as no user 
action takes place (such as a ke ypress or scan trigger). At the expiration of the Dim For  duration, the display 
backlight shuts off.
External Power Check Box
When you select the check box next to  When using external power keep the backlight always ON , the back-
light remains ON at t he configured intensity when the Workabout  Pro4 is operating with external power (not 
battery power). If the Workabout Pro4 is drawing power from its battery, this option is  ignored and the other 
parameters defined in  Display Properties dialog box take effect.
Dr. Debug 
Dr. Debug is an error diagnostic  and troubleshooting tool.
• Tap on  Start>Settings >Control Panel . Tap on the Dr. Debug icon.

GPS (Global Positioning System) Settings
This applet allows you to define how the GPS module operates. 
• Tap on  Start>Settings>Control Panel>GPS Settings  icon.
GPS Tab
The  GPS  tab provides two options for the  GPS Source depending on the radio installed in the unit:  On-board 
GPS  if a WiFi radio is installed or  WAN GPS if a PH8 radio is installed.
On-Board GPS
Enable SBAS
SBAS (Satellite Based Augmentation  System) downloads satellite ephemeris (orbital) data to the hand-held, 
increasing the likelihood of find ing and keeping a fix in poor coverage areas.
Enable SUPL
Enabling SUPL (Secure U ser Plane Location) is an IP based proto col for Assisted GPS to receive information 
of GPS satellites quickly via IP r ather than the slower process  over GPS satellite signalling.
Use Zebra Server 
This option is available when  Enable SUPL is chosen so that the hand-held  can be connected to the Zebra 
Server.
NOTE Leave GPS on in suspend  is only available with the WAN GPS source. If this option is enabled, 
the GPS remains  on even when the hand-held is in s uspend mode to provide better satellite fix 
response time.

Server Name and Port
These fields are used to enter your server IP address and Port  number. 
User ID Type
IMSI  (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) is used to identify the device on a cellular network. It is also 
used to identify the radio on the network. To protect the ident ity of the radio subscriber, this signal is rarely sent 
out.
MSISDN  (Mobile Station International Subscriber Director y Number) reads the phone number of the SIM card 
to identify the subscriber.  IMSI is often used as a key in the subscriber database while MSISDN  is the number 
normally dialled to connect a call to the device. A SIM has a u nique IMSI that does not change, while the 
MSISDN can change in time – diffe rent MSISDNs can be associated with one SIM.
WAN GPS
Enable GLONASS (Global Navigation Sputnik System)
Enabling this option pr ovides support for Russian satellites. Selecting GLONASS prompts a search for 
GLONASS satellites first, then GPS satellites.
Enable AGPS
AGPS (Assisted Global  Positioning System) reduces the fix time  and increases the likelihood of finding and 
keeping a fix in poor coverage areas. AGPS downloads satellite  ephemeris (orbital) data to the hand-held peri-
odically through the radio. The d ownloaded data is used by the GPS module to speed the process of getting 
afix. 
Enable AGPS for GLONASS
This option, as the title sugges ts, enables AGPS for GLONASS sa tellite connections.
Programs
This tab allows the communication  port for GPS data to be defined.

 Keyboard Properties
This icon displays the Keyboard Properties dialog box in which you can  adjust the repeat rate of the keys, the 
intensity of the keyboard backlight and the behaviour of the [F N] and [SYM] modifier keys. This dialog box also 
allows you to define macro keys and Unicode characters.
• In the  Control Panel , choose the Keyboard icon.
Key Repeat
• In the Keyboard Properties  dialog box, open the  Repeat tab.
Repeat Delay
The value assigned for this parameter determines the delay in m illiseconds between repeat characters. Sliding 
the  Repeat Delay  bar to the left increases the delay between key repeats, and s liding the bar to the right 
shortens the repeat delay time.
NOTE You can also display this dialog box by double-tapping on the I nput icon in the far-right corner of 
the taskbar.
NOTE These settings apply when a key  is held down continuously. 
						

							Configuration 3 - 27
Repeat Rate
The value assigned for the Repeat Rate parameter determines how quickl y the key you press repeats and is 
measured in characters per second (cps). Sliding the bar to the  left slows the repeat rate, and sliding the bar to 
the right increases the repeat rate.
Keyboard Backlight
• In the  Keyboard Properties  dialog box, open the  Backlight tab.
Intensity
This parameter is used to adjust  the light intensity of the Workabout Pro4 keyboard backlight. Sliding the bar to 
the left darkens the keyboard ba cklight intensity, and sliding it to the right lightens the intensity.
ON For
The value chosen from this drop-down menu determines the durati on of time that the keyboard backlight stays 
on after the last user actio n (keypress or scan trigger).
Keyboard One Shot Modes
• In the Keyboard Properties  dialog box, open the  One Shots tab.
NOTEUse the field at the bottom of t his dialog box to test the repeat delay and rate settings you’ve 
chosen.
NOTE The keypad backlight maximum b rightness will decrease over time as it ages. Use mid-range 
intensity settings when possible  to extend the backlight lifespan. When the backlight starts to 
dim, use this parameter to make it brighter.
NOTE Tapping in the check box next to  When using external power, keep the backlight always ON 
forces the keypad back light to remain on when the unit is operating with external power.

The options in this tab allow you to determine how modifier key s on your Workabout Pro4 behave. For each 
modifier key — [ALT], [SHIFT], [CTRL], [FN/BLUE], and [FN/ORANG E] — you have the following options in the 
drop-down menu:  Lock, OneShot , and OneShot/Lock . 
Lock
If you choose  Lock from the drop-down menu, pressi ng a modifier key once locks it on  until you press the 
modifier key a second time  to unlock or turn it off. 
OneShot
If you choose  OneShot, the modifier key remains activ e only until the next key is pressed.
OneShot/Lock
OneShot/Lock  allows you to combine these functions. When you choose this op tion and you press the modifier 
key once, it remains active only until the next key is pressed.  
If you press the modifier key twice, it is locked  on, remaining active until the modifier key is pressed a third ti me 
to turn it  off.
NOTE Keep in mind that checking the t askbar lets you know whether or  not these keys are locked on. 
For example, if the [FN/BLUE] key is locked  on, the taskbar at the bottom of the screen displays 
it underlined. If this key is displayed without the underline i n the taskbar, you’ll know that the key 
is not locked. It will become i nactive following a key press.
IMPORTANT Once you’ve assigned a One Shot m ode to a modifier key, you need to tap on the OK 
button at the top of the tab  to activate your selection.
