tion of this key.
Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters
• Lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’
Each time you press a numeric key from [2] through [9], an alpha character will be displayed on the screen.
Remember that you can refer to the softkey bar for a visual indication of which alpha key will be displayed on
the screen.
The Keypad Backlight
The intensity of the keypad backlight can be configured using the Backlight icon accessed by tapping on
Start>Settings>System>Backlight . Refer to “Backlight – Screen and Keypad” on page 4-45 for details about
this option.
NOTE
To choose the second, third or fourth alpha character assigned to a numeric key,
you may want to lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’. Remember that depending on
how your Workabout Pro4 is set up in the ‘One Shots’ tab, you may find that you
need to press the [FN/ORANGE] key twice to lock it ‘on’. Refer to
“One-
Shot/Lock” on page 4-39 for details.
NOTE
Keep in mind that there is a timeout of one second between key presses when
sequencing through the alphabetic characters on a key. If you pause longer
than one second between key presses, the alphabetic character that is dis-
played at that time will be entered.
NOTE
Once you have finished typing alpha characters, remember to turn off or unlock
the [FN/ORANGE] key. Check the shift-state indicator icon (refer to
Figure
2-1 Shift-State Indicator Icon on page 2-6 ) to make certain that the key is
turned off.
NOTE
Keep in mind that this option may be restricted to supervisory use only.
