(switch off) the function of this key.

[FN/ORANGE]
key ‘on’.
Each time you press a numeric key from [2] through [9], an alpha character will be dis-

The Display
NEO is equipped with display backlighting to improve character visibility in low light con-
ditions. The backlight switches on when a key is pressed or the screen is tapped.
3.5.1
Adjusting the Backlight
To set the backlight intensity and the duration of time that the backlight will remain on,
you’ll need to choose the
Backlight
icon.
•
Tap on
Start>Settings
and then, tap on
System
tab>
Backlight
icon.
Refer to “Backlight” on page 132 for details.
Note: Keep in mind that there is a timeout if you pause for one second between key presses
when selecting the second, third or fourth letters on a key. For example, suppose you
want to type the letter ‘c’ – you would need to press the [2] key three times. With the
[FN/ORANGE] key locked ‘on’, if you press [2] twice and then pause between key
presses for 1 second, the letter ‘b’ will be selected automatically.
Important: 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 3.3 on page 32) to make certain that the key is turned off.
