Appendix C • How to Enter Text

When is Text Entry Used?

Text is entered when:

•Naming an account (with optional Standard Accounting).

•Entering international country names

•Entering Canada and UK Postal Codes when sending mail within those countries

How is Text Entry Done?

Text entry is done via the numeric keypad in a fashion similar to cur- rent cell phone text entry. Each key, 2 through 9, has three or four letters displayed above it.

There is no dedicated key to switch between alpha and numeric mode. On those screens (and only those screens) where either an alpha or numeric character may be entered (e.g. preset names, postal codes, account names), tap a numeric key to cycle through the 4 possibilities for that key. For example, tapping the “2” numeric key cycles through "2" - "A" - "B" - "C". Extended character sets are provided for foreign markets on a country-by-country basis. In those cases, a numeric key may be tapped several times (greater than four) to cycle through the complete character set associated with a key.

Account Names

For account names, the first letter of the first word automatically de- faults to uppercase.

If you wish to enter two consecutive alpha characters that are located on the same numeric key (such as “DE”), you must wait for the cursor to automatically move right to the second character’s position before entering the second character. There is about a 1-second delay follow- ing an alpha entry before the cursor moves one position to the right.
