Basic Operations — Organizing Your Data

Entering Characters

The instructions that follow show you how to enter characters in naming your files and folders. The method is much the same as inputting names and numbers to your cell phone.

Move the cursor to the desired position by using the [DATA ENTRY] dial.

Press the appropriate button, [2▲] - [7▲] and [2▼]- [6▼], corresponding to the character you wish to enter. Several different characters are assigned to each button, and the characters change each time you press the button. To actually enter the selected character, move the cursor or press another letter-input button.

If you’ve entered a character by mistake, move the cursor to the character letter you wish to erase and press the [7▼] (DELETE) button. If you want to delete all of the characters on the line at once, press and hold down the

[7▼] (DELETE) button for a while. When the cursor appears in reverse display (highlight), only the reversed area is deleted.

To actually enter the new name, press the [8▲] (OK) button.

To cancel the operation, press the [8▼] (CANCEL) button.

■Converting into Kanji (Japanese language)

This applies only if you are using the “ (kana-kan)” button (in Japanese). When the input “hiragana” characters are shown in reverse display (highlighted), press the [ENTER] button one or several times to convert the characters into the appropriate kanji. The reversed area can be changed by the [DATA ENTRY] dial. The converted area can be changed back to “hiragana” by the [7▼] (DELETE) button. The reversed area can be cleared at once by the [8▼] (CANCEL) button. To actually enter the change, press the [8▲] (OK) button or enter the next character. To enter the “hiragana” itself (without converting it), press the [8▲] (OK) button.

The following half-size marks cannot be used in naming files and folders: ¥ \ / : * ? “ < >

■Entering special character marks (umlaut, accent, Japanese “ ” and “ ”)

Select a character to which a character mark is to be added and press the [6▼] button (before actual entry of the character.)

■Entering miscellaneous characters (marks)

You can call up the mark list by pressing the [6▼] button after actual entry of a character.

Move the cursor to the desired mark by using the [DATA ENTRY] dial, then press the [8▲] (OK) or [ENTER] button.

■Entering numbers

First, select one of the following: “A B C” (full-size alphabet), “ABC” “CASE” (half-size capital alphabet) and “case” (half-size lowercase alphabet). Then, press and hold down the appropriate button, [2▲] - [7▲] and [2▼] - [5▼], for a while, or press it repeatedly until the desired number is selected.

In the case of characters which are not accompanied by special character marks (with the exception of kana- kan and half-size katakana), you can call up the mark list by pressing the [6▼] button after selecting a character (before actual entry of a character).
