2.1 Entering data on the KP300 Basic
The function keys of the KP300 Basic have the same operating
concept as the keypad of a mobile phone. Each function key has
multiple assignments with the letters of the alphabet and special
characters as well as each being allocated a number. When input‐
ting a value, the available characters are displayed in a menu on
the display. Each time a function key is pressed, the selection in
the menu moves to the right. At the end the selection jumps back
to the start.
Numerical and alphanumerical assignment always has the fol‐
lowing sequence when values are being entered:
n
Letters, e.g. JKL
n
Number e.g. 5
n
Special characters and umlauts (optional)
