Psion Teklogix 7525 user manual Creating Uppercase Letters, Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters

Chapter 3: Getting To Know The WORKABOUT PRO

Creating Uppercase Letters

To choose the second letter in the sequence—in this example, the letter b:

•Press the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’. A shift-state indi- cator icon in the taskbar will represent the orange key with a black frame around it to indicate that this key is locked ‘on’.

•Press numeric key <2> twice to display the letter b.

To choose the third letter in the sequence—in this example, the letter c:

•Press the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’.

•Press numeric key <2> three times to display the letter c.

Note: Keep in mind that there is a timeout if you pause for one second between key presses when selecting the second, third or fourth letters on a key. For example, suppose you want to type the letter ‘c’–you’d need to press the <2> key three times. With the <ORANGE> key locked ‘on’, if you press <2> twice and then pause between key presses for 1 second, the letter ‘b’ will be selected automatically.

3.6.3.2Creating Uppercase Letters

To display capital letters, you need to first activate the <CAPS> key. You’ll find this key in orange print above the <.> (period) key.

•Press <ALPHA/ORANGE> followed by the <.> (period) key to turn on the <CAPS> key.

All alpha keys are displayed in uppercase until you press <ALPHA/ORANGE> <.> again to switch the <CAPS> key off.

3.6.3.3Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters

•Press the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’.

Each time you press a numeric key from <2> through <9>, an alpha character will be displayed on the screen. Remember that you can refer to the taskbar for a visual indication of which alpha key will be displayed on the screen.

Important: Once you have finished typing alpha characters, remember to turn off or unlock the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key. Check the taskbar to make certain that the shift-state indicator icon (refer to Figure 3.9 on page 32) is replaced by the soft keyboard icon.
