5. Enter a value from the numeric keypad. If a digit is entered by mistake, use the [Clr]
to delete the digit last entered.
6. When entry is complete, press the Enter soft key to enter the value. The arrow keys
on the numeric keypad can now be used to move the cursor to the next field if further
entry is required.
7. If there is nothing further to enter, press the [Exit] key to save the settings and revert
to the previous page in the command hierarchy.
Text Entry
1. On selection of the text entry field using the [Sel] key, the current contents of the field
are cleared and replaced by a number of underscores, ‘_’, indicating the number of
characters that may be entered.
2. Text can now be entered from the numeric keypad. Beneath each of the buttons on
the keypad there are three, or in some cases four, letters. The first press of a key
enters the first of the letters associated with it. Subsequent immediate presses
replace that letter with the second, third, or forth letter.
3. In some places, such as the dialog to enter the screen title, there is a Next soft key
that displays after pressing the [Sel] key. The Next key is used to input consecutive
letters that are both entered from the same key on the keypad. For example, to enter
the word “EDGE”, the user would press the “def” key twice to enter the “e”, press the
Next soft key, and then press the “def” key again to enter the following “d”.
4. If a mistake is made, use the [Clr] key to delete the last entered character. If the field
is empty when [Clr] is pressed, text entry will be terminated. Pressing the Enter soft
key when the field is empty also terminates text entry and in both cases, the previous
value of the field is restored.
5. Press the Enter soft key when data entry is complete.
Power-Off Procedure

are saved automatically.
