Basics

Entering special characters

The on-screen keyboard allows you to enter special characters.
For example, to input "á", touch and hold the "a" button until the pop-up

appears and displays related special characters. Without lifting the finger,

drag your finger to the desired special character. Once it's highlighted, lift

your finger.

NOTE

•

A symbol at the top right corner of a key indicates that additional characters

are available for that key.
