The Keys

To help you identify when a modifier key is locked ‘on’, the key is represented in the shift-state indicator icon with a black frame around it.

Figure 3.7 Shift-State Indicator Icon – Locked Modifier Key

Once a modifier key is unlocked or turned off, it is no longer displayed in the shift-state indicator icon.

3.5.4 The Keys

The [ALPHA] Key (WORKABOUT PRO S Only)

This key is used to access the alpha characters displayed in orange print above numeric keys [1] through [9].

The [CAPS] Key (WORKABOUT PRO S Only)

When this key is pressed, uppercase alpha characters are displayed. Press [ALPHA/ORANGE] [.] to activate this key.

The [SHIFT] Key (WORKABOUT PRO C Only)

The [SHIFT] key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and provide access to the symbols above the numeric keys. You can lock this key ‘on’ so that when you press an alpha key, an upper case character is displayed. When you press a numeric key, the associated symbol on the numeric key is displayed on the screen.

If you press [BLUE] [SHIFT], the [SHIFT] key acts as a [CAPS] key, displaying uppercase characters. In this state, if you type a numeric key, the number rather than the symbol above it is displayed. Press [BLUE] [SHIFT] again to turn the [CAPS] function off.

The Arrow Keys

The Arrow keys are located on the grey, circular key at the top of the keyboard, directly below the display. The arrow keys move the cursor around the screen–up, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next character you type will appear.
