Page 38 Entering Data in Your Handheld
Using the onscreen keyboard
You can open the onscreen keyboard anytime you need to enter text
or numbers on your handheld.
To use the onscreen keyboard:
1. Open any application (such as Memo Pad).
2. Tap any record, or tap New.
3. Tap “abc” to open the alphabetic keyboard, or tap “123” to open
the numeric keyboard.
4. Tap the characters to enter text and numbers.
Note:
The onscreen keyboard also includes a dialog box for
international characters. You can switch among the three
dialogs at any time to enter the exact text you need.
5. After you finish, tap Done to close the onscreen keyboard and
place the text in the record.
Using Note Pad
In addition to using Graffiti characters and the onscreen keyboard,
you can enter data on your handheld using the Note Pad application.
When you use Note Pad, you write quick notes directly on the
handheld screen in your own handwriting. Later, you can enter this
information into another application, or delete it. See “Note Pad” in
Chapter 5 for more information and instructions.
To use Note Pad:
1. Press the Note Pad application button on the front panel of
your handheld.
2. Write the information directly on the handheld screen.
3. Tap Done.
