A 14-inch diagonal, high-resolution video display screen with 16-color
illumination displays all alphanumeric and graphic data.

and a decimal key which are used to enter numeric data
• ENTER key — stores entered numeric data and advances the
cursor to the next entry location

it is completed
• Arrow keys — a set of four keys used to move the cursor in the
direction depicted by each arrow
