The SHIFT Key:
Some keys may have as many as three separate functions. The
SHIFT
key (see figure 1-1) controls access to each one of these.
•
The No-Shift (or "Data Entry") functions for each key are either listed on the
center of the key itself (e.g. 1 through 0, *, #, A, B, C, D), or appear below the
key in black type (• (decimal point), +/- (plus or minus sign toggle),
VALUE
, and
MENU
). These keys are usually for data entry, dialed number sequence entry, or
for scrolling through fields and parameters on the LCD display. both LEDs above
the
SHIFT
key must be off.
•
Pressing the
SHIFT
Key once causes the green LED above it to come on and
activates the functions described in green type above the Data Entry keys.
