The external keyboard is an optional device. When connected, it complements the in-built keypad.
Note:
Some of the keys are not supported (e.g. Tab, Insert)
There is no equivalent to the Power (•) key
The soft keys (1-6) are mapped onto the function keys (F1 – F6, respectively)
The Accept key (insert symbol of the tick in brackets) is mapped onto the Enter key, except in the
editor screen
The Cancel key (insert symbol of the cross) is mapped onto the Esc key
Memory Usage
The following should be noted with regards to memory storage of OnlineAVL messages:
Messages awaiting transmission are stored in a buffer which, in certain situations (vehicle out of
cellular coverage for prolonged time), may overflow. If this happens, an appropriate notification is
issued. However, no newly generated messages will be stored for sending (they will be lost).
When the storage for the Inbox becomes full, no new messages are accepted and a warning
displays every time a new message arrives.
Using Multi-Tap Text Entry
Multi-tap is only available for the alpha numeric keys (0 – 9).
Two subsets of special characters have been implemented for keys 0 and 1. These include
punctuation, currency and other symbols.
Multi-tap characters are language-dependent, i.e. any language-specific (accented, special)
characters are only available for the language in question.
In multi-tap mode, the subset of characters available for the currently used key is displayed over the
status bar with the current character highlighted.
Multi-tap timeout (length of time before a multi-tap character is automatically accepted) is user-
configurable. Refer to section 8. Keypad.
How to enter multi-tap text:
Press a key one or more times until the required character appears on the screen (e.g. to select the
character ‘M’, press the
key 4 times.
To accept the selected character, use one of the following options:
Pause for a short while OR
Press the key on the 4-way cursor key OR
Continue to enter the next character using a different key
To select and accept a numeric character, press the key once with a continuous pause.
