Some menu options require the use of on-screen keyboards to enter information. Three
different keyboards are available in landscape orientation—lower case, upper case, and
number/special characters. Switch between keyboards with special designated keys next to the
Done
key. The keyboard screen is divided into three sections as shown in
header bar, (2) text box, and (3) keyboard.
The number displayed on the far right-hand side of the header bar indicates the remaining
allowable number of characters that can be entered into the text box.
Figure 4: Keyboard Screen
Use the keyboards to enter text inside the text box. The recommended hand-position is shown
below utilizing two thumbs to tap the keyboard. While entering text, the position of
the cursor in the text box is shown as a flashing white block. The block turns red when the
maximum limit is reached (Remaining: 0). An alert sounds when the maximum number of
characters is exceeded and additional text is entered.
You can hold down any key while sliding around the keyboard. The key is not entered until the
finger is lifted. Moving the finger away to the top or bottom of the screen cancels this option.
The entire text box can be erased with the
Clear
button.
Unclear
reverses the process. Tap
Done
to accept entered text and return to the previous screen. Press the Power/Back key
to
return to the previous screen without saving any changes—all the changes will be lost.
