Alphanumeric / Symbol Entry
The alphanumeric keys have the heaviest population on the keyboard and are the method of entering
data into the YHC. Each YHC display has a default alpha or numeric / symbol entry mode based on
the most likely used mode for the display’s function. Pressing the ALPHA LOCK ( ) key
activates the other entry mode for alphanumeric keys. Pressing the SHIFT key ( ) converts the next
key stroke to the inactive entry mode and then automatically reverts back to the active mode. The
letter “A” in the display header line indicates the alpha input is active while a # sign in the display
header indicates the numeric / symbol input is active.
(Shift)
The key is used to activate the secondary functions of the YHC’s dual function keys for the next
keystroke only. When the Shift key is active, an up arrow
u
is displayed at the top of the display to
the left of the battery power (or AC wall plug) symbol is also used to activate the Page Up and
Page Down soft key functions while viewing lists of information (installed DOFs, stored configs,
etc…).
