Importing data

Using the handheld keyboard

The handheld keyboard is the primary method you’ll use to enter data into your handheld. Each
letter key on the keyboard has three functions:

Normal: Types a lowercase letter.

Shift: Types an uppercase letter.

Option: Types the number/symbol, or activates the function, that appears in blue on the key.

Typing capital letters

To type capital letters, you must first “shift” to caps and then type the character.

Note:

Your handheld includes a feature that automatically capitalizes the first letter when you
create a new sentence or a new record (by tapping New or a blank line).
