3.2.6 Using the Virtual Keyboard
It is recommended that you create folders and rename fi les or folders from your
computer when it is connected to the Gmini. The computer keyboard is easier to use.
Often times, however, you are not near your computer and you would like to enter the
text directly with the Gmini. For this, you will use the virtual keyboard. You will be taken to
this screen when you rename a fi le or folder or when you name a recording.

You will use the LEFT, RIGHT, UP and DOWN buttons to move around the keyboard. Click on OK/PLAY to enter the
character that is highlighted. Once satisfi ed with your text entry, click on the MENU button and select Enter.
Tip: use the ESC key to cancel any changes you made and exit the virtual keyboard.
3.2.7 Locking the Gmini Buttons
You can prevent the Gmini from executing unintended functions

MENU key until the “lock” icon appears in the top-left corner of
