Standard Text Entry Method and QuickText
Your PSR-410 features a high-contrast, backlit alphanumeric display that
provides constant feedback about what the radio is doing while scanning
and monitoring your “Scannable Objects”. To get the most out of your
scanner and this display, you will want to name your objects as you
program them into the radio. This allows for easy identification of active
objects while the radio is scanning, and makes it easier than ever to find
objects that you wish to monitor, edit or delete using the powerful FIND
feature.
Your scanner uses a simple text entry method that allows entry of all
uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet, numbers, and punctuation
symbols. Your scanner also features GRE's exclusive QuickText feature,
which allows you to store up to 10 commonly used text items for instant
recall while editing alphanumeric fields.
Entering and Editing Alphanumeric Information
A Standard Text Entry Method is used for entering alphanumeric information
into the radio. This method allows easy access to each letter in the alphabet
by pressing two keys that represent the letter.
Take a moment to study the numeric keys on the keypad and you will notice
that keys 2-9 each have three or four letters silk screened on the front panel
just above each key. To enter a letter in an alphanumeric text field, simply
press the number key below the letter you wish to type first, then press the
number key that corresponds with the position of the letter in the silk screen
group. For example, the number 2 is used to access the letters A, B and C.
To type the letter A, press 2 to select the ABC group, then 1 to select the
first letter in the group, A. Likewise, to type the letter B, press 2 to select the
ABC group, then press 2 again to select the second letter in the group. And,
to type the letter C, simply press 2, then 3 to select the third letter in the “ABC”
group.
To enter numbers in alphanumeric text fields, press 1 first, then the number
you wish to type.
To enter punctuation, press 0 first to see the first set of punctuation, then
press the number key that corresponds with the position of the desired
punctuation mark in the set.
Press the • (period) key to enter a SPACE.
