Windows, activate the wireless handheld's ALT key by pushing the CTRL
key on your PC.
The current state of the Alt key is displayed on the upper right corner of
the simulator. A reverse-video ‘A’ will be displayed when the ALT key is
in effect.
SHIFT key
Press and release the CAP or SHIFT key to capitalize the next key you
press. When this key is pressed, an up arrow will appear on the top right
corner of the screen.
PC mode and Pager mode
The keyboard can be toggled between two modes: PC mode and Pager

simulator internally generates the keystrokes required to produce each
symbol. In Pager mode, however, only the keys present on the wireless
handheld can be used.
