Arrow navigation keys

The Tab key lets you move between selectable controls on a window.
Pressing the Tab key selects the icons from left to right across all of the

Alphanumeric keypad
The alphanumeric keypad lets you enter letters, digits, and other
characters, such as punctuation marks. The 475 Field Communicator
automatically determines which text options are available depending
upon the input necessary for the particular field.
To enter text when in alphanumeric mode, press the desired keypad
button in quick repetition to scroll through the options to display the
appropriate letter or number. For example, to type the letter Z, press
the 9 key quickly four times.
The blue text near the keys indicates alternate functionality that can be
enabled by pressing the Function key. The alternate function on the
alphanumeric 5 key (insert) will be activated in future releases of the
475 Field Communicator software.
