When is Text Entry Used?
Text is entered when:
• Naming an account (with optional Standard Accounting).
• Entering international country names
• Entering Canada and UK Postal Codes when sending mail within
those countries
How is Text Entry Done?
Text entry is done via the numeric keypad in a fashion similar to current
cell phone text entry. Each key, 2 through 9, has three or four letters
displayed above it.
There is no dedicated key to switch between alpha and numeric mode.
On those screens (and only those screens) where either an alpha or
numeric character may be entered (e.g. preset names, postal codes,
account names), tap a numeric key to cycle through the 4 possibilities for
that key. For example, tapping the “2” numeric key cycles through "2" -
"A" - "B" - "C". Extended character sets are provided for foreign markets
on a country-by-country basis. In those cases, a numeric key may be
tapped several times (greater than four) to cycle through the complete
character set associated with a key.
Account Names
For account names, the first letter of the first word automatically defaults
to uppercase.
If you wish to enter two consecutive alpha characters that are located
on the same numeric key (such as “DE”), you must wait for the cursor to
automatically move right to the second character’s position before entering
the second character. There is about a 1-second delay following an alpha
entry before the cursor moves one position to the right.
