MFJ-498 Instruction Manual 

Pressing the backspace key will remove a single character from the "type ahead" 
buffer before it is played.  While the buffer is being sent you may clear it by pressing 

Esc

.  The buffer will clear, all text in it will be lost, and the keyer will stop playing 

code.  Now you may enter new text or play a stored message. 
 
If you press 

Pause

 while your type ahead buffer is playing your message will stop 

playing.  You can now insert text with the paddle.  Press 

Esc

 and your type ahead 

buffer will continue playing where it stopped.
