Toggling between Alpha and Numeric modes
The keypad defaults to Numeric mode and switches between Alpha and
Numeric modes easily.
To switch modes, press the Blue modifier key
as follows:
•
Single-press to switch
only the next character
pressed
to Alpha
mode.
•
Double-press to switch to Alpha mode permanently.
Double-press again to switch back to Numeric mode
permanently.
Alpha indicators
Each number key has a blue section with white characters that indicates
which letter or symbol is typed when you press that key in Alpha mode.
Please note that when typing in Alpha mode, you must use the same
multi-press method you would use when typing letters on a phone
keypad. Each keypress types the next letter in the sequence as
displayed by the Alpha indicator.
Note:
You can still use the Blue modifier key for regular Blue Key
combinations in Alpha mode.
Just press and hold Blue modifier key with the next key in the
combination.
Shift functionality in Alpha mode
When you switch the keyboard to Alpha mode, letters type in lowercase
by default.
To capitalize only the next letter pressed, single-press the SFT key.
To turn CAPS LOCK on and off, double-press the SFT key.
