REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW
ENTERING TEXT WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control can be used to enter text in all text fields. This
text entry capability is provided to allow you to fill out short text
fields – such as those that occur in the setup and edit screens. The
MS300’s wireless keyboard should be used when extended typing is
required.
Entering Numeric Entry Mode
In fields where the MS300 expects only numeric characters to be
entered (such as phone number fields), an indicator will appear on the
screen that displays the letters “123” indicating that only numbers can
be entered.
Typing Characters with the Remote
The remote control based text entry capability is similar to that
provided on standard telephones and cell phones. Each numeric key
has characters associated with it that can be accessed by pressing the
key one or more times. You have .5 seconds after a key is pressed to
enter a second character from the same key. If you press the same
key within .5 seconds, the second character associated with that key
replaces the initial character. If you do not press the same key within
.5 seconds, the text cursor moves to the next location so that the same
key can be pressed again to enter a second character.
The “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, and “8” keys each support three letters
and one number and can be pressed from one to seven times to display
upper case, lower case, and numeric characters. The “7” and “9” keys
both support four letters and one number and can be pressed from
one to nine times. The “1” and “0” keys support all of the special
