Operation – Text Entry
1. Normal Text Entry
Keys printed in white (e.g. numbers 0 to 9 and the lowercase alphabet) are
entered simply by pressing the desired keys. Uppercase alphabetic
characters and characters printed in blue can be entered by using the Shift
key. The Shift key is a “sticky” key that operates in two ways. The first is
exactly like a PC keyboard. Holding Shift down causes the keyboard to
generate uppercase characters for those keys pressed while Shift is down.
The second method is to press and release Shift once – the following key
(only) will be an uppercase key and then the Shift state is automatically
cleared.
2. The Fn Key
Keys printed in
red
are entered using the Fn key. The Fn key is also a
“sticky” key. If you wish to enter a series of red keys, press and hold the Fn
key, press the keys you want and release the Fn key. If you only need one
red character, press and release Fn followed by the key you want. The Fn
state is automatically cleared.
