For 29-key model in alphabet mode, it takes turns to show upper-case/lower-case

alphabets and number when you keep pressing the same key; the lasting time of a press

or interval between two presses must not exceed one second or you will always get the

first letter. For example, keep pressing the number key [2], it will take turns to show “A”,

“B”, “C” or “2” for upper-case, and “a”, “b”, “c” or “2” for lower-case.

 When you first press the number key [2], it will produce the letter “A” or “a”.

 When you press the number key [2] twice (the time interval must not exceed one

second), it will produce the letter “B” or “b”.

 When you press the number key [2] three times (the time interval between each

press must not exceed one second), it will produce the letter “C” or “c”.

 When you press the number key [2] four times (the time interval between each press

must not exceed one second), it will produce the number “2”.

In order to get the desired character, you will need to press the same key, one to four

times (the time interval between each press must not exceed one second). Only when

you stop pressing the same key for longer than one second or you press another key, will

the system send the real key code to the application program.

For 39-key in alphabet mode, each key press immediately inputs a particular letter on

the screen. For example, pressing the number key [1] will show “A” or “a” on the screen;

pressing the number key [2] will show “B” or “b”.
