To choose the letter
a
:
•
Press the [FN/ORANGE] key, and press the numeric key [2].
Note:
To choose the second, third or fourth alpha character assigned to a
numeric key, you may want to lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’. By
default, the [FN/ORANGE] key is locked ‘on’ when pressed once. How-
ever, depending on how your unit is set up in the ‘One Shots’ tab, you may
find that you need to press the [FN/ORANGE] key twice to lock it ‘on’.
Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 89for details.
To choose the
second
letter in the sequence—in this example, the letter
b
:
•
Lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’. ‘ORG KEY is displayed in upper-case
characters in the taskbar to indicate that this key is locked ‘on’.
•
Press numeric key [2]
twice
to display the letter
b
.
To choose the
third
letter in the sequence—in this example, the letter
c
:
•
Lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’.
•
Press numeric key [2]
three times
to display the letter
c.
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’d 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.
Creating Uppercase Letters
To display a capital letter:
•
Press the [FN/ORANGE] key and then the [SHIFT] key before typing the
alpha character.
Note:
If you want to use uppercase characters at all times, press [FN/BLUE]
[SHIFT]. An icon of an uppercase ‘A’ is displayed in the taskbar indicating
that all letters will be displayed as uppercase characters.
Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters
•
Lock the [FN/ORANGE] key ‘on’.
