The PowerKeyMgr provides control over Power Key Menu options supported on the device.
Zebra Android devices display a menu with a long-press of the Power Key. Called the Power Key Menu, it offers the device user the ability to invoke various power-related functions, such as reset (reboot), power off, Airplane Mode, Touch Panel, Safe Mode, etc. The exact set of options that appear in the Power Key Menu varies based on the capabilities of the device.
The PowerKeyMgr provides the ability to turn supported menu options on or off. This allows a device to prevent the device user from accessing certain supported menu options that may perform undesired or sensitive operations that could interfere with the smooth operation of the device.
Note: The PowerKeyMgr can be used to prevent access to menu options that are supported on the device and can restore access to menu options to which access was previously prevented. It cannot provide access to menu options that are not supported on the device.
Zebra Android devices support a Screen Lock Timeout, controlled by the DevAdmin, that controls how long the device screen must remain off before a screen lock will appear when the display screen is turned back on. When the Power Key is used to turn the device off (as opposed letting the device screen time out) a screen lock can be required when the display screen is turned back on, even though the timeout was not reached. The PowerKeyMgr can enable or disable this functionality and control whether the device user can change this functionality via the in-device System Settings Menu.
Turning on Airplane Mode disables all radios, including the cellular radio, the Wi-Fi radio, and the Bluetooth radio. While Airplane Mode is turned off, radios other than the cellular radio can be turned back on individually. Turning off Airplane Mode turns on the cellular radio, but does not change the state of other radios.
This parm allows you to select whether or not Airplane Mode should be allowed to be turned on or off from the Airplane Mode menu option in the Power Key Menu.

Some Zebra Android devices provide the ability to turn the Touch Panel on and off from the Power Key Menu. Turning off the Touch Panel could be useful in situations where the device screen may come in contact with foreign objects, to prevent inadvertent activation of functions via the Touch Panel.

Some Zebra Android devices provide the ability to boot into a Safe Mode. Safe Mode is typically used to perform troubleshooting operations that might be impeded by certain applications or services that would normally start when booting the device normally. Since booting into Safe Mode could render the operation of the device insecure and likely would impact the ability of the device to perform its production functions, it may be desirable to prevent device users from booting into Safe Mode under normal circumstances.
This parm allows you to select whether or not Safe Mode should be allowed to be turned on or off from the Safe Mode menu option in the Power Key Menu.
Parm Name: SafeMode
