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].

To choose the letter a:
•

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

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.

Creating Uppercase Letters
To display a capital letter:
•

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

Important: The letters you choose appear in the taskbar, providing a visual indicator of

which letter will be displayed on the screen.

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.

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.
