Using a Stylus Tap
When the mobile device enters end-user mode, a Switchpad icon (it looks like three tiny windows one above the
other) is displayed in the lower right corner of the display. The Switchpad is always visible on top of the application
in focus. However, if only one application is configured in AppLock and the Input Panel is disabled the Switchpad
is not visible.
Switchpad
When the user taps the Switchpad icon, a menu is displayed showing the applications available to the user.
The user can tap an application name in the popup menu and the selected application is brought to the fore-
ground. The previous application continues to run in the background. Stylus taps affect the application in
focus only. When the user needs to use the Input Panel, they tap the Keyboard option. Input Panel taps
affect the application in focus only.

Using the Switch Key Sequence
One switch key sequence (or hotkey) is defined by the administrator for the end-user to use when switching
between locked applications. This is known as the Activation key. The Activation key is assigned by the Admin-
istrator using the Global Key parameter. When the switch key sequence is pressed on the keypad, the next appli-
cation in the AppLock configuration is moved to the foreground and the previous application moves to the
background. The previous application continues to run in the background. End-user key presses affect the appli-
cation in focus only.
See also Global Key (page 5-23).
Hotkey (Activation hotkey)
The default Hotkey (Activation key) is Ctrl+Spc. The key sequence switches the focus between one application
and another. Data entry affects the application running in the foreground only. Note that the system administrator
may have assigned a different key sequence to use when switching applications.
Note: You must use an external keyboard with the 12-key version of the Thor VM2 to use the Hotkey. If an external
keyboard is not attached, use the Switchpad to switch between applications.
Application Configuration
Settings > Control Panel > Administration
The default Administrator Hotkey sequence is Shift+Ctrl+A.
Administrator mode allows access to all features on the device. When the hotkey is pressed to switch into Administra-
tor mode, a password prompt is displayed (if a password has been configured). A password must be entered within 30
seconds (and within three tries) or the password prompt is removed and the device remains in end-user mode with the
focus returned to the locked application. Without entry of a valid password, the switch into Administrator mode will not
occur.
The password prompt is displayed if a password has been configured. When the valid password is entered, the Admin-
istration Control panel is displayed. When a valid password is not entered within 30 seconds, the user is returned to
the System Control Panel.
If a password has not been configured, the Administrator Control panel is displayed.
