The Numeric Keyboard: Accessing Alpha Keys

first press the [ORANGE] key and then press the numeric key above which the alpha char- acter you want to type is printed.

Choosing A Single Alpha Character

The examples below illustrate how to access, A, B, and C, all of which are printed in orange characters above the numeric key [2].

Important: The letters you choose appear in the taskbar, providing a visual indicator of which letter will be displayed on the screen.

To choose the letter a:

•Press the [ORANGE] key, and press the numeric key [2].

Note: To choose the second, third or fourth alpha character assigned to a numeric key, you may want to lock the [ORANGE] key ‘on’. By default, the [ORANGE] key is locked ‘on’ when pressed once. However, depending on how your unit is set up in the ‘One Shots’ tab, you may find that you need to press the [ORANGE] key twice to lock it ‘on’. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 90 for details.

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

•Lock the [ORANGE] key ‘on’. ORG KEY is displayed in upper-case characters in the taskbar 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:

•Lock the [ORANGE] key ‘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.

Creating Uppercase Letters

To display a capital letter:

•Press the [ORANGE] key and then the [SHIFT] key before typing the alpha character.
