FIREBALL-MP INSTALLATION & USER’S GUIDE - M22002-01A1

The “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, and “8” keys each support three letters and one number and can be pressed from one to seven times to display upper case, lower case, and numeric characters. The “7” and “9” keys both support four letters and one number and can be pressed from one to nine times. The “1” and “0” keys support all of the special characters and will cycle through each character for every key press.

The text characters follow the same convention used by a standard telephone – except in the case of the “1” and “0” keys which contain additional characters that are useful for editing music information.

When entering characters at the beginning of a field or characters that follow a space, FireBall-MP assumes that upper case characters are preferred. Therefore, characters are entered in the following cycle – uppercase, lowercase, and numeric. For example, the first key press enters an uppercase letter corresponding to the first letter associated with the key. Pressing the “2” key once displays an “A” in the text field, pressing the “2” key twice displays a “B”, pressing it again will display a “C”. The fourth key press displays a lower case “a”, the fifth key press displays a lower case “b”, and the sixth key press displays a lower case “c”. Lastly, pressing the “2” key a seventh time displays the number “2”.

When entering the second character in a text field or the second character following a space, FireBall-MP assumes that lower case is preferred and the character entry cycles in the following pattern – lowercase, uppercase, and numeric.
