Some 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 Figure 4
below: (1) 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 in Figure 5 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. 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
back key to return to the previous screen without all the changes—all the changes will
be lost.
