Creating Uppercase Letters
To display a capital letter:
•
Press the [FN/ORANGE] key and then the [SHIFT] key before typing the
alpha character.
Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters
•
Lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’.
Each time you press a numeric key from [2] through [9], an alpha character will be dis-
played on the screen. Remember that you can refer to the softkey bar for a visual indication
of which alpha key will be displayed on the screen.
Note: To choose the second, third or fourth alpha character assigned to a numeric key,
you may want to lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’. By default, the [FN/ORANGE]
key is locked ‘on’ when pressed once. However, depending on how your unit is set
up in the ‘One Shots’ tab, you may find that you need to press the [FN/ORANGE]
key twice to lock it ‘on’. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 83
for details.
Note: Keep in mind that there is a timeout if you pause for one second between key presses
when selecting the second, third or fourth letters on a key. For example, suppose
you want to type the letter ‘c’ – you’d need to press the [2] key three times. With the
[FN/ORANGE] key locked ‘on’, if you press [2] twice and then pause between key
presses for 1 second, the letter ‘b’ will be selected automatically.
Note: If you want to use uppercase characters at all times, press [FN/BLUE] [SHIFT]. An
icon of an uppercase ‘A’ is displayed in the taskbar indicating that all letters will be
displayed as uppercase characters.
Important: Once you have finished typing alpha characters, remember to turn off or
unlock the [FN/ORANGE] key.
