Text Entry Via the FireBall-MP Remote Control

The remote control can be used to enter text in all text fields. This text entry capability is provided to allow you to fill out short text fields – such as those that occur in the setup and edit screens. FireBall-MP’s IR keyboard should be used when extended typing is required.

Entering Numeric Entry Mode

In fields where FireBall-MP expects only numeric characters to be entered (such as phone number fields), an indicator will appear on the screen that displays the letters “123” indicating that only numbers can be entered.

Typing Characters with the Remote

The remote control based text entry capability is similar to that provided on standard telephones and cell phones. Each numeric key has characters associated with it that can be accessed by pressing the key one or more times. You have .5 seconds after a key is pressed to enter a second character from the same key. If you press the same key within

.5 seconds, the second character associated with that key replaces the initial character. If you do not press the same key within .5 seconds, the text cursor moves to the next location so that the same key can be pressed again to enter a second character.

Text entry is always in the Insert Mode rather than in Overtype mode.
