Chapter 5. Entry Assist

The Entry Assist function enhances data entry, formatting, and editing on the 1483. Access to the Entry Assist function with the 104-key, and 122-key keyboards is achieved by pressing the ExSel key, followed by the F13 or PF13 (Document-On/Off) key. For displays attached to 102/103-key keyboards, press the Alt key and the ExSel key followed by the F1 or PF1 key. Extended Select mode is entered when the ExSel key is pressed. In Extended Select mode, the following keys become redefined to perform the Extended Select functions.

Note: Entry Assist is a controller feature, available only if the 1483 is attached to a controller that supports Entry Assist capability.
