Section 2.7 Alphanumeric Data Entry
Items that require the entry of both letters and numbers will automatically provide the Text Entry menu
shown in Figure 2.2. Letters are selected by using the left and right arrow keys to position the letter pointer
under the desired letter, then pressing the SELECT LETTER softkey. If the left or right arrow key is pressed
and held, the pointer will automatically move to successive letters. Upper or lower case letters can be
selected by the LOWER CASE/UPPER CASE softkey. If upper case letters are currently being displayed
in the text box, pressing the LOWER CASE softkey will change the text box to lower case letters. To change
a previous entered character, use the CURSOR LEFT and CURSOR RIGHT softkeys to position the data
entry line cursor over the letter to be changed and then select the new character. A space is inserted each
time the SPACE softkey is pressed, and the CLR key clears all characters that have been entered. Numbers
are entered directly from the numeric keypad. The entry process is aborted if the ABORT EDIT softkey is
pressed, leaving the previous data intact. The new description is accepted when the ENT key is pressed.
