Toggling Between Alpha and Numeric Modes

The 24-key keyboard defaults to numeric mode. Numeric mode is when you type numbers with the number keys.

•Double-tap the Blue modifier key to toggle between alpha and numeric modes.

•Single-tap the Blue modifier key to toggle to alpha or numeric mode only for the next key pressed. The keyboard returns to the previous state before the next key pressed.

•Press and hold the Blue modifier key to toggle to alpha or numeric mode for all keys pressed until the Blue modifier key is released.

Alpha Mode

Alpha mode is when you type the letters or characters indicated in blue on the number keys.

Please note that when typing in alpha mode, you must use the same multi-press method you would use when typing letters on a phone keypad. Each key press types the next letter in the sequence as displayed by the alpha indicator.

You can still use the Blue modifier key for regular Blue key combinations in alpha mode; just press the Blue modifier key and the next key. For combinations, see 38-Key Keyboard on page 4-7.

Shift Functionality in Alpha Mode

•Single-tap the SFT key to modify the next key pressed; if this is a letter, that letter is capitalized.

•Double-tap the SFT key to toggle caps lock on and off in alpha mode.

Note: Check the mode indicator (see Keyboard Mode Indicator on page 4-3)in the Navigation bar to see what mode the keyboard is in.
