Chapter 8: Using the THINChome network feature

Using the software keyboard

Typing text on the software keyboard is similar to typing text on a cell phone. The number keys on the remote control have corresponding letters or symbols printed next to them.

Repeatedly press a key to cycle through the available characters for that key.

For example, repeatedly pressing the “q” key toggles through several punctuation symbols and the numeral 1; repeatedly pressing the “w” key toggles through the letters a, b, and c, and the numeral 2, and so forth.

To enter text using the software keyboard:

1 Repeatedly press the corresponding key on the remote control to highlight the desired character on the on-screen software keyboard.

2 The highlighted character is entered after you either press a different key, press the c key, or after a two-second pause.

3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have entered all desired text.
