Using the Remote Control to Choose On-screen Menu Items

The technical term is ÒNavigationÓ Ð how you move through the on-screen menus. The theory is the same throughout the menu screens: highlight your choice and select it.

To highlight a menu item, press the arrow buttons on the remote or the keyboard. Use the up or down arrow button to move up or down. Use the right or left arrow button to move left or right.

To select the item that youÕve highlighted, press OK¥SELECT.

For easier menu and web navigation, check with your service provider about purchasing the optional wireless keyboard.

Note: Highlighted means that the menu item stands out from the other menu items on the list (appears darker, brighter, or a different color).

Using the On-Screen Keyboard

The on-screen keyboard is a keyboard that appears on the screen to help you enter text on web pages or menus. The navigation of the keyboard is very similar to remote control navigation in the menus: you highlight the key you want to enter with the arrow buttons and press OK to select it.

¥To bring up the on-screen keyboard to enter text, press the KEYBD button when a text box is selected. When youÕre finished typing the text, press KEYBD to enter it (it works the same as the Enter button on the virtual keyboard).

¥To exit the on-screen keyboard, highlight the EXIT button on the keyboard using the arrow buttons, and press OK to select it.

If you have an optional wireless keyboard, using it to enter text will also make the on-screen keyboard disappear.

Shortcut Keys

The .gov, .org, .com, and www. keys are shortcuts for commonly used characters used in web addresses and are added to the text box when selected.
