Preparing Terminals For Operation
2.1 Preparing Terminals For Operation
This section of the manual details the basic steps you’ll need to prepare your
hand-held and vehicle-mount terminals for operation.
2.1.1 Client-Side Emulation Software
For terminals equipped with the Client-Side Emulation feature, you’ll need to
review the Connect Inc. manual, “Twin Client Reference for the 7035, 8255 and
8260 terminals manufactured by Psion Teklogix” that is shipped with your
client-side emulation terminal. It details how to install and activate the client-side
emulation software.
2.2 Preparing The 7035 For Operation
Note: For vehicle-mount installation instructions, refer to “Installing
8255/8260 Vehicle-Mount Terminals” beginning on page 18.
Preparing the 7035 terminal for operation includes installing the battery pack, and if
an external antenna is required, connecting the antenna to the 7035.
Important: All battery packs must be charged before use. A description of
battery chargers is provided in Chapter 8: Terminal Accessories
beginning on page 203.
2.2.1 Connecting The 7035 Whip Antenna
7035s equipped with internal antennas do not require whip antennas. A plastic cap
covers the antenna connector on terminals with internal antennas.
If your site requires that external antennas, the appropriate antenna will be shipped
with your terminal. (“Antenna T ypes” on page 212 lists available antennas.)
When you attach the antenna, make certain that it is securely attached to the
terminal. Failure to do so can result in poor communication quality.
2.2.2 The Battery Pack – Removing And Installing
The 7035 hand-held terminal operates with a Lithium-Ion battery pack.
Important: Before attempting to install, use or charge the battery pack, it is
critical that you review and follow the important safety guidelines
listed on page 43 and also in the section titled “Lithium-Ion
Battery Safety Precautions” on page 201.

Chapter 2: Assembly And Basic Operation
The Battery Pack – Removing And Installing
Warning: When a battery is removed from the terminal, a backup of the
system, application and any work in progress is maintained for
to 10 minutes. A fresh battery must be installed within this 10
up
minute time frame. THIS BACKUP WILL NOT FUNCTION
UNLESS THE TERMINAL IS TURNED OFF BEFORE THE
BATTERY IS REMO VED. Remo ving the battery while the unit is
operating will result in a full reboot.
Even after the system backup has expired, the date and time are
maintained for 100 hours without a battery.
To remove the battery pack:
• Turn the terminal upside down (antenna pointing down).
• Grasp the unit around the keypad area with your forefinger resting on
the battery release button.
The battery release button is located at the base of the terminal, just above the
28-pin port.
• Press the button until the battery unlatches.

2.2.3 Attaching The 7035 Hand-Strap Or The Pistol Grip
Note: For a list of additional accessories, refer to “Accessories List” on
page 222.
2.2.3.1 Attaching The Hand Strap
Note: A Phillips head screwdriver is required.
T eklogix recommends that the hand strap provided with your terminal always be
used. Howev er, if your terminal has an internal scanner and you plan to use the
pistol grip accessory , a hand strap is not required.
Each end of the hand strap has two holes drilled in it. The holes nearest the outer
edges of the hand strap allow the hand strap to be installed more loosely while
the holes closer to the centre of the strap provide a tighter fit. The hand strap
can be secured either on the left or the right side of the terminal, depending on
operator preference.
Two black #4-40 Phillips head screws are provided with the hand strap for
attachment. Four threaded inserts are available on the back of the terminal. The hand
strap can be attached either to the upper- and lower -most inserts on the left side of
the terminal or to the upper- and lower -most inserts on the right side of the terminal.
T o attach the hand strap, choose on which side of the terminal the hand strap is to be
attached and securely fasten the screws into the back of the terminal.
2.2.3.2 Attaching The Pistol Grip
Note: A Phillips head screwdriver is required.
The four threaded inserts in the upper part of the terminal casing are used to attach
the pistol grip. Four black #4-40 Phillips head screws are provided with this
accessory .
Note: Prior to installation, make sure the trigger mechanism has been securely
snapped into the pistol grip body and the trigger operates properly.

attach it, follow the guidelines below.
• For narrow band and WAN radios, turn the antenna in a clockwise direction.
• For spread spectrum radios, turn the antenna in a counter-clockwise
direction.
The antenna works best when placed vertically and away from metal objects that
may interfere with the radio signal. The best location for the magnetic mount on a
fork lift truck is on the middle of the roof or cab cover , at least 20 centimeters away
from the operator.
Warning: As a safety precaution, USERS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO
CHANGE THE ANTENN A.
2.3.5 Installing The Cables
Note: Make sure the cables run inside the roll cage.
When installing the cables between the terminal and other devices, consider
the following:
• Ensure the drilling holes will not damage the vehicle or its wiring.
• Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.
• Protect cables by using grommets when cables pass through metal.
• Prevent cables and connectors from moving and loosening by using
plastic straps.
Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual

Page 49
Chapter 2: Assembly And Basic Operation
Installing The Extension Power Cable
• Keep the cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid, and other
potential hazards.
• Keep the cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that
may pull on the cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle.
• Leave enough slack on the cables so that the terminal can be removed
easily for maintenance.
2.3.6 Installing The Extension Power Cable
The terminal has a short power cord and connector. The extension power cable
(PN 13985) should be connected from the terminal’s power cord to a fused power
source capable of carrying the additional 3 Amps required by standard terminals or
5 Amps for freezer terminals.
Note: For vehicles operating on 24 Volts or above, connections must be made as
close to the vehicle battery as possible.
If an unfused power source must be used, install the fuse assembly (PN 19440)
provided with PN 13985. To connect the fuse assembly, push the male connector
of the fuse assembly into the female connector at the positive (red) lead of the
power cable. Connect the red lead to the positiv e side of the battery. Connect
the black lead to the negative side of the battery.
Warning: Do not reverse the polarity or connect to a voltage outside the
10-55 volt range.
Note: When installing terminals on vehicles operating on 24 Volts and above,
the diode assembly (supplied with the extension power cable 13985)
must be used to reduce the AC ripple produced by the SCR tr action motor
controller on the vehicle. To connect the diode, push the male connector
on the diode assembly into the female connector on the positive (red) lead
of the power cable. If the fuse assembly is already installed, connect
the diode assembly to the fuse assembly as described in the previous
sentence. Connect the red wire from the diode assembly to a fused power
source on the vehicle.
It is recommended that all connections be secured with electrical tape or
heat shrink to prevent contaminants from degr ading the connection.

2.4 Turning The Terminals On And Off
Important: Any differences in operation between the 7035 hand-held and the
8255/8260 vehicle-mount terminals are explicitly indicated.
The Teklogix 7035, 8255 and 8260 terminals are fully functional personal
computers (PCs), compatible with the IBM AT (486) architecture. They normally
come pre-loaded with DOS. These terminals are intended to be used in terminal
emulation mode for real-time wireless data transaction processing. Howev er, they
can also be used stand-alone in batch mode.
The remainder of this manual describes terminal operation as it applies to normal
terminal emulation mode, utilizing wireless communication to a host computer.
The operation of these terminals depends on the application software running on the
host computer. The terminals’ interaction with the application depends on both
the terminal operating system and the terminal hardware. This chapter outlines the
unique features of the hardware. For more information on the terminal operating
system, see Chapter 7: Setting Parameters.

Chapter 2: Assembly And Basic Operation
Operation Of The Integrated Scanner
Important: If an aiming dot is available on the installed scanner, the dot will
be enabled for a configurable time period, after which normal
scanning begins. Refer to “Dot Time” on page 134 for details.
Double-clicking the trigger will override the aiming delay and
initiate an immediate scan. Note that the aiming dot is standard
on long-range and high visibility internal scanners.
• Aim at the bar code and press the scan key or the trigger. A scan beam and a
warning indicator appear until a successful decode is achieved or two
seconds have elapsed. For terminals using e xternal scanners, the w arning
message can be turned off by setting the “Scan Indic” parameter to “N”.
Refer to “Scan Indic – 7035 Only” on page 134 for details.
Note: 7035 terminals with internal scanners always display this warning
indicator, even if the “Scan Indic” parameter is set to “N”.
Figure 2.6 7035 Scanner Warning Indication
Successful Decode
If the scanner has successfully read the bar code:
• The terminal beeps.
• The warning indicator disappears.
Troubleshooting
If the scanner is not working, inv estigate the following:
• Is the terminal on?
• Check that the bar code symbology being scanned is enabled for the
terminal you are using. Check any other parameters that affect the scanning
procedure or the bar code.
Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual
36
Page 63
Chapter 2: Assembly And Basic Operation
Scanning Techniques
• Check the bar code to make sure it is not damaged. Try scanning a different
bar code to verify that the problem is not with the bar code.
• Check that the bar code is within the proper range (see page 239).
• Does the terminal display the warning without scanning? This suggests a
hardware problem in the 7035.
The terminal can be configured to enable a function (such as <ENTER>) by
pressing the trigger twice within a time period which is measured in milliseconds.
See “Click Time” on page 133 for more details. This function is independent of the
aiming dot override described earlier in this section, under “Operation Of The
Integrated Scanner” on page 35 and only applies after a successful scan.
2.10.3 Scanning Techniques
The Scanner Angle
• Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the bar code.
Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. In this position, light can reflect
back into the scanner’s exit window and prev ent a successful decode.
Scan Symbol Variations
• Scan the entire symbol. The scan beam must cross every bar and space
on the bar code, including the margins on either end of the symbol.
• Hold the scanner farther away for larger bar codes.
• Hold the scanner closer for bar codes with bars that are close together.
2.11 Infrared (IrDA) Port – 7035 Only
The IrDA port is the small red windo w at the top of the 7035. This port can transmit
an infrared signal to printer equipped with an IrDA adaptor. The maximum distance
between IrDA de vices is 18 inches.
Important: The IrDA port is connected to the COM1 serial port UART. A
serial peripheral connected to COM1 cannot be used while the
IrDA port is active.

Low Temperature, Freezer and Outdoor Terminals
2.12 Low Temperature, Freezer and Outdoor Terminals
T eklogix has developed a range of hand-held and vehicle-mount terminals that
can withstand low temperatures, outdoor use, and/or freezer applications. Each
terminal’s capabilities along with a list of operating guidelines is provided in
this document.
2.12.1 Hand-Held Terminals
7035 Freezer Terminals
Important: A 7035 freezer terminal will cold-start if left in a freezer;
WEVER, you may experience long delays while the internal
HO
heater warms the liquid crystal display to a temperature that can
provide an acceptable refresh rate.
In cases where the 7035 freezer terminal is left to freeze in an
environment below -20˚ C (-4˚ F), and the battery has less than a
30% charge remaining, the terminal may not power up properly.
IN ORDER TO AVOID THESE ISSUES, we recommend that the
7035 freezer terminal be stored and powered up at temperatures
abo
ve 0˚ C (32˚ F).
• For use in temperatures ranging from -30˚ C to 50˚ C (-22˚ F to 122˚ F).
• Water-sealed to IP 54 to withstand rain and condensing environments.
• 7035 terminals must be used with a rubber boot or vinyl protective carrying
case to enhance drop performance below 0˚ C (32˚ F).
2.12.2 Vehicle-Mount Terminals
8255/8260 Standard Temp., Low Temp., and Freezer vehicle-mount terminals are
sealed against dust and high-pressure water jets to the international standard IP66.

2.12.3 Important Operating Instructions
Warning: IT IS CRITICAL that this information be reviewed and that any
guidelines applicable to your terminal be strictly followed.
2.12.3.1 For All Freezer Terminals
• Use terminals only in the environments for which they are designed.
• DO NOT open the terminal casing and attempt to perform repairs. Only
T eklogix technicians are qualified to open and repair your terminal.
• All Teklogix freezer vehicle-mount terminals ha v e built-in heaters where
required to warm internal components. To help maintain the temperature,
terminals should be switched on before entry into a freezer environment
and should be left on at all times while in a freezer environment.
Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual 39
Page 66
Chapter 2: Assembly And Basic Operation
For Hand-Held Terminals Only
• Hand-held LCD terminals used in freezers may require some contrast
adjustment if the display darkens due to a rapid drop in temperature.
• When moving between freezer and warm, humid environments, window
condensation or icing on the outside of the display and scanner window is a
normal occurrence. W iping the condensation from these windows may
help, but the operator may need to wait until the condensation stops forming
before use.
• To reduce condensation and frost on terminal displays, use an anti-fogging
agent once a week or as required.
• Contact lubricant and connector caps must be used on all external connectors to maintain a moisture barrier and prevent corrosion during freezer and
outdoor use. For 7035 terminals, the contact lubricant – PN 93523 (Dow
Corning #111) must be used. On all versions of 8255/8260 vehicle-mount
terminals, the contact lubricant – PN 95146 (Nyogel) must be used. Further,
the appropriate contact lubricant should be replaced at least monthly in
applications requiring daily or frequent removal of cables. Refer to the table
below for connector cap part numbers.
Terminal Type Connector Cap Part No.

2.12.3.2 For Hand-Held Terminals Only
• Do not charge batteries in a freezer environment.
• If a hand-held terminal is left in a freezer environment for extended periods
of time with the power off, display response time and contrast are severely
affected. After turning the terminal on, the operator should allow a 15
minute warm-up period outside the freezer before use.
• Battery capacity is reduced as the operating temperature cools based on the
application and the type of radio used. The table below generally outlines
battery capacity based on the operating temperature.

For Vehicle-Mount Terminals Only
2.12.3.3 For Vehicle-Mount Terminals Only
• 8260 LCD freezer vehicle-mount terminals have a delay programmed into
the software to prevent the display backlight from turning on if the internal
temperature sensor is below 10˚ C. The duration of the delay is between one
and two minutes, depending on the temperature measured by the sensor .
This delay is required to heat up the backlight tube, preventing damage
during cold temperature start up. Although the terminal is operational
during this time, it is extremely difficult to read the display until the backlight is turned on.
Warning: Do not install a non-heated keyboard in an 8260 freezer
Conversely, do not install a heated keyboard in a standard
ture 8260 terminal.
Warning: Do not install the terminal in such a way that the po w er cable is
bent 90˚ at the terminal. Doing so may cause damage to the power
cable and power cable strain relief.
• To prevent condensation when a vehicle-mount freezer terminal is moved
from a freezer to a warmer environment, it is recommended that the terminal power be left on for at least five minutes.
• When not in use, 8260 LCD vehicle-mount freezer terminals should be
stored in temperatures above 0˚ C (32˚ F).
• To prevent k eyboard keys from freezing up, the keyboard should be
mounted off the horizontal plane. This allo ws w ater to run of f the k eyboard

Maintenance
2.13 Maintenance
This section describes the measures that should be added to your equipment
maintenance routine.
2.13.1 Cleaning All Terminals
T erminals can be cleaned with mild detergent and water. Ink marks on the
keyboard can be removed using a cotton ball moistened with isoprop yl alcohol.
Warning: Do not immerse the unit in water. Never use strong cleansers.
2.13.2 7035 – Special Instructions
• The 7035 terminal has a plastic case that is susceptible to certain chemicals.
It is partially soluble in aromatic or chlorinated hydrocarbons, and slowly
decomposes in strong alkaline solutions. Avoid these solvents. Do not use
Loctite brand or other adhesives to secure scre ws used to attach accessories to
the case of the 7035 since the adhesive may damage the plastic (unless the
adhesives are specifically formulated for plastics).
• The 7035 scanner, IrDA port and display window should be cleaned with a
mild detergent and water , as required. Never apply cleaners directly on
the terminal – use a cloth dampened with a mild detergent.
Warning: To avoid scratching the display and scan windows, do not use
abrasive cleansers.
2.13.3 Maintaining The 7035 Battery
Important: “Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Precautions” on page 201 outlines
additional safety precautions. For detailed battery specifications,
refer to “Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7035 Only)” on page 241.
7035 terminals use Lithium-Ion batteries that do not require conditioning. Each
battery pack tracks its own capacity. A horizontal bar graph, referred to as a battery
gauge, is displayed in the status area of the terminal screen. It keeps track of the
percentage of remaining battery power capacity – 0 to 100%, resolution 10% of
nominal. The operator is notified when the battery capacity is low.

Keyboard Layouts
3.1 Keyboard Layouts
Depending on the type of terminal you use – hand-held or vehicle-mount – and the
type of keyboard chosen, keyboard operation varies slightly.
Operating instructions in this chapter are described section by section according to
keyboard type.
3.1.1 7035 Hand-Held Terminal Keyboards
7035 hand-helds are available with three ke yboard layouts – 44-key , 56-k ey and
36-key. The function of each of these keyboards is described in the following
sections:
• 44-key – Page 57
• 56-key – Page 59
• 36-key – Page 61
3.1.2 8255 And 8260 Vehicle-Mount Terminal Keyboards
Vehicle-mount terminals are available in three different alphabetic layouts –
QWERTY, ABC and AZERTY.
In addition, all these keyboard layouts are av ailable in tw o k eyboard types –
‘F1 to F6’ and ‘F1 to ‘F10’. The ‘F1 To F6’ ke yboard type is equipped with 6
yellow function keys that are directly accessible along the top row of the keyboard.
The ‘F1 To F10’ ke yboard type is equipped with 10 yello w function k e ys across the
top of the keyboard. Depending on which keyboard type you are using, accessing
the extended function keys and the macro ke ys along with the <CTRL>, <ALT> and
<SHIFT> keys differ slightly. These differences are clearly outlined in each
keyboard section.
Important: Make certain that the appropriate keyboard type – ‘F1 to F6’
‘F1 to ‘F10’ – is selected in the “Keyboard Type” parameter
or
(see “Keyboard Type – Vehicle-Mounts Only” on page 130).

Keyboard Keys – A Description
3.2 Keyboard Keys – A Description
Note: Where a key or key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, the
differences are noted.
The 7035, 8255 and 8260 terminals are equipped with standard keyboard keys along
with two colour keys – an <ORANGE> ke y and a <BLUE> ke y – to allo w access to
additional keys such as the extended function ke ys and the <CLR> key. Some of the
most frequently-used standard keyboard keys along with the ke ys accessed using the
<ORANGE> and <BLUE> keys are described in this section.
3.2.1 The Status Area – 7035 Only
The 7035 terminal has a status area at the bottom of the terminal screen that
indicates which mode keys are currently activ e. The key or keys pressed are
displayed in lowercase letters at the bottom of the screen. For example, if you press
the <CTRL> key, it is displayed as ctrl in the status area.
The status area also indicates whether or not the function of a mode key has been
locked “on”. Ke ys that have been locked “on” are displayed in the status area in
uppercase letters. For example, if you press the <CTRL> key twice to lock it “on”, it
is displayed as CTRL in the status area. Refer to “Onscreen Indicators – 7035 Only”
on page 29 and 30 for a description of all possible status area messages.
3.2.2 <ORANGE> And <BLUE> Keys
The <ORANGE> and <BLUE> keys provide a means of accessing additional
keyboard options and characters.The functions and characters that are accessed
using the <ORANGE> or <BLUE> keys are colour coded in orange or blue print
above the standard keys, indicating you must first press the <ORANGE> or the
<BLUE> key before accessing a colour coded function or character.
As an example, on a hand-held terminal, to access the “CLR” function which is
printed in blue characters above the <DEL> key:
• Press the <BLUE> key and then, press the <DEL> key.
Important: KEEP IN MIND that you can change the key lock function of the

is pressed, it is only active until the next alphanumeric k e y is pressed. For example,
once you press <SHIFT> and type the letter q, the letter is displayed in uppercase
and the “shift” function turns off .
To display all alpha characters in uppercase, lock the <SHIFT> key “on” by
pressing it twice. To unlock the <SHIFT> key, press it a third time. For more
details about the lock function, refer to “Key Lock Function” on page 52.
Note: On vehicle-mounts without a dedicated <SHIFT> key, the <ORANGE>
key is used to access the <SHIFT> function.
The Arrow Keys
The Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow –
up, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that
indicates where the next character you type will appear .
Manual Panning Keys (Arrow Keys)
If the contents of a screen are too large to fit in the margins of the terminal window,
they can be “panned” or shifted to display the information that is outside the
margins. The 7035, 8255 and 8260 terminals allo w both manual and automatic
panning. The “Panning” parameter specifies when and how the screen contents
should be shifted.
Note: For details about Auto Panning, refer to “Auto Pan, Left Margin, Right
Margin And Bottom Margin” on page 124.
Manual panning – shifting the contents of the screen using the <BLUE> key in
combination with the <LEFT>, <RIGHT>, <UP> and <DOWN> arrow k eys –
relies on the values set in the “X Increment” and “Y Increment” parameters to
determine the number of columns (spaces) and rows (lines) to pan or shift.
To access the “X Increment” and “Y Increment” parameters:
• In the “Parameters” menu, position the cursor on the “System” option and
press <F1>.
• Move the cursor down to “Panning” and press <F1>.

Chapter 3: Keyboards – Operating Instructions
The Standard Keys
Important: Only the “X Increment” and “Y Increment” parameters are used
for manual panning. The remaining parameters in the Panning
menu are used to specify auto panning margins.
“X Increment” determines the number of spaces the screen pans to the left or right
when the <BLUE> key is pressed followed by the <LEFT> or <RIGHT> arro w k ey.
“Y Increment” determines the number of lines the screen pans up or down when the
<BLUE> key is pressed followed by the <UP> or <DOWN> arrow key.
• Type a value in the “X Increment” and “Y Increment” parameters.
To pan the screen contents:
• Press the <BLUE> key followed by the <RIGHT>, <LEFT>, <UP> or
<DOWN> arrow k ey to pan the entire screen of information.
Pressing <BLUE> <LEFT> arrow pans the screen to the right, pressing <BLUE>
<RIGHT> arrow pans the screen to the left, and so on.
Note: To more ef ficiently pan the content of the screen, try locking the <BLUE>
key “on” by pressing it twice. You can then press any arrow key in any
direction until the necessary information has been brought into view.
When you have finished panning the information, press the <BLUE> key
a third time to unlock or turn it off.
The <DEL/CLR> Key
The <DEL> key (sometimes referred to as destructiv e backspace) mo ves the cursor
one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke. This k e y
operation is not consistent with the DELETE key on a PC keyboard. It is consistent
with the PC BACKSPACE ke y.
The <CLR> function erases the contents of the field in which the cursor resides.
The <CTRL> Key
The <CTRL> key modifies the next k e y pressed and is application dependent.For
example, in a macro field, pressing <CTRL> <L> (L is the ‘literal’ function)
followed by the <ENTER> key inserts the function of the <ENTER> key into the
macro. In TESS and ANSI applications, defined <CTRL> key combinations
perform specific actions. <CTRL> key functions for each application are described
in the appropriate chapters of this manual.
Note: On vehicle-mounts without a dedicated <CTRL> key, the <ORANGE>
key is used to access this function.

3.5.1 Accessing Alpha Characters
On 36-key 7035s, all alpha characters are printed on the terminal plastic in orange
typeface above the numeric ke ys. T o access an alpha character, you must first press
the <ORANGE> key and then press the numeric key abo v e which the alpha
character you want to type is printed.
Important: Keep in mind that when you press the <ORANGE> key only once
it is locked “on” by default. You need to press the <ORANGE> key
a second time to unlock or turn it off. Refer to “Key Lock Function” on page 52 for a complete description of this function.
Because the alpha keys on a 36-key keyboard are laid out much like the letters on a
telephone – generally in groups of three letters per numeric key – you need to take a
few extra steps to access the alphabetic characters. The examples below help
illustrate how to access alpha characters.
Choosing A Single Alpha Character
The examples below illustrate ho w to access A, B and C, all of which are printed in
orange characters above the numeric k e y, <1> (one).
To choose the letter ‘a’:
• Press the <ORANGE> key, and press numeric key <1>.
To choose the letter ‘b’:
• Press the <ORANGE> key, and press <1> twice.
To choose the letter ‘c’:
• Press the <ORANGE> key, and press <1> three times.
,
Note: Once you’ve typed an alpha character or characters, remember to turn
the <ORANGE> key off by pressing it a second time. This will end alpha
selection.

Accessing Alpha Characters
Creating Uppercase Letters
To display a capital letter:
• Press the <ORANGE> key and then the <SHIFT> key before typing the
alpha character.
Choosing More Than One Alpha Character From The Same Key
If you need to choose more than one alpha character from a single key, you’ll need
to press the ‘Accept’ key between alpha selections. The ‘Accept’ ke y is presented as
a double arrow < ⇒> abov e the ‘0’ (zero) key . Pressing this ke y signals the terminal
to display the alpha character you’ve chosen and await the next selection from the
same key.
For example, suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’. These letters are
all accessible from the numeric key, <1>.
To type the letter ‘a’:
• Press the <ORANGE> key, and then press the numeric key, <1>.
• Press the ‘Accept’ key < ⇒> to indicate that the letter ‘a’ should be
accepted and that another letter from the same key will be chosen.
To type the letter ‘b’:
• Press the <1> key twice to choose the letter ‘b’.
• Press < ⇒> to accept the letter ‘b’.
To type the letter ‘c’:
• Press the <1> key three times to choose the letter ‘c’.
When you have completed your alpha selections fr om this ke y, you can do one of the
following:
• If you want to choose additional alpha characters from another key(s),
leave the <ORANGE> key ‘on’, and press the next numeric key that
supports the alpha character you require.
• If you do not want to choose any additional alpha characters, press the
<ORANGE> key to end alpha selection.

Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters From A Range Of Keys
If you plan on choosing alpha characters from a number of different keys, you are
not required to press the ‘Accept’ < ⇒> key after each alpha selection. The < ⇒>
key is only required when you are choosing more than one alpha character from the
same key – e.g., ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ from the <1> key.
Pressing the next key in a sequence of ke ys or pressing the <ORANGE> k e y to end
alpha selection accepts the alpha characters in the same way as pressing the ‘Accept’
< ⇒> key.
This is how it works. Suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘d’ and ‘g’. These
alpha characters are accessed from the numeric keys <1>, <2> and <3>.
• With the <ORANGE> key activated, press <1> to type the letter ‘a’.
• Press <2> to type ‘d’, and press <3> to type the letter ‘g’.
• To end alpha selection, press the <ORANGE> key a second time.
