Alphanumeric Buttonpad

For Numeric Characters

Enter the value numerically instead of using the Alpha Wheel or Plus / Minus buttons. Press

Enter when Þnished. Press Cancel to restore a parameter to its previous value. Pressing Clear is

equivalent to pressing 0 without pressing Enter .

For Alphabetic Characters

When naming objects, you can use the alphanumeric pad to enter letters instead of numbers. If
youÕre renaming a program, for example, just position the cursor under the character you want
to change, then press the corresponding numeric button, as labeled. Press the button as many
times as necessary to enter the desired character. Pressing Clear will enter a space before the
selected character. The 0 button will enter the numerals 0Ð9 when pressed repeatedly.

HereÕs an example. To enter the letter C in a blank space, press 1 three times. You can press the

+/- button before or after entering the letter.

The Cancel button is equivalent to the >>> soft button, and Enter is the same as OK . The Clear
button replaces the currently selected character with a space. The +/Ð button toggles between
uppercase and lowercase letters.

When you press the +/Ð button on the alphanumeric pad, the currently selected character (the
one with the cursor under it) will switch from upper case to lower case, and vice versa. The +/Ð
button is a toggle; that is, if you switch from lower to upper case, all further entries will be in
upper case until you press the +/Ð button again.
