1.4.1Alpha Numeric Keys

Keys 1-9 represent the alpha numeric entry keys of the GS20. Similar to a cellular phone, buttons 2-9 contain alpha characters; by pressing the key continuously, all characters on that key will be scrolled. The selection of a character can be made by either selecting a different key, or waiting for the 2 second time-out. Special characters can be found on the decimal key on the lower right of the keyboard.

1.4.2Power Key

To power the unit on, the power key needs only to be pressed and released. The unit will then respond with an audible tone, followed by the splash screen.

)Time to splash screen may depend on compact flash size and the amount of data on disk.

While in operation, the backlight can be turned on with a button press of less than 3 seconds.

If the power key is depressed and held for three seconds, the unit will power down and give a message confirming the power down and saving of data.

Remember: Depressing and holding the key acts like multiple key presses.

Multiple functions: Keys 3 and 9 have been provided with additional functionality. In a map display, 3 and 9 function as zoom keys; in a table, 3 and 9 function as page up and page down.
