Using the Comfort Pro P 300/500 PC with an Interface
Operation
The Comfort Pro P 300/500 PC can be used with a mouse or keyboard of any workstation computer, in a
manner similar to a Comfort Pro P 300 or Comfort Pro P 500.
When making entries via the keyboard, please note the terminal’s input mode, which distinguishes between
numeric and alphanumeric input. If, for example, you enter a call number you are in numeric input mode.
When you search for a name in the telephone book, you will be in alphanumeric input mode. To enter a “C” on
the terminal, for example, you have to press the “2” key three times. When the letter “C” is entered on the key-
board, the Comfort Pro P 300/500 PC automatically converts it to the corresponding digit key. Always use
your workstation computer’s number pad to enter digits in numeric input mode.
Press the shift key on the workstation computer together with a second key to enter a long key-press on the
Comfort Pro P 300/500 PC. For example, the Comfort Pro P 300/500 PC’s ABC key has the telephone book
(“short”) and language selection (“long”) functions. You can open the telephone book by using the Ctrl+A key
combination. With the key combination Shift+Ctrl+A you reach the language selection.
The following table describes the assignment of the workstation computer’s keyboard to the
