ENTERING ALPHANUMERIC DATA
Keys 0 through 9 provide both alphabetic and numeric capability by activating each character shown on the key
with successive pushes of the key. Table 2-1 shows characters assigned to each of the numeric keys for all
languages except Japanese, Russian, Turkish, and Greek.
For example, to enter an “A” in a station header, which accepts either alphabetic or numeric characters, you press
the
key once. Push the key again to change the character to a “B”, again to enter a “C”, and again to enter a “2”.
The period (.) is on key “1”.
When the correct selection is displayed, press the
key to move the cursor to the next position and enter the
required character as described. When all the characters have been entered, press ENTER.
If you enter an incorrect character, you may use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the character, press
CHANGE, and enter the correct character.
