This Edit Mode is used when a cycle name must be

character in the item with a blinking underscore

underneath. The character can then be changed by
using the

The Cycle Name can contain the capital letters “A”

numbers “0” through “9”, and special characters. The

user can go forward to the next character in the item

item is selected and the

keypad is pressed, the

cursor will go to the last character of the item. Thus,

the cursor will move only within the item when the

horizontal keypads are pressed.
