Numeric Keypad
The numeric keypad consists of the digit keys (0 through 9), a decimal point key,
and a backspace key, The backspace key has dual functions for both
backspacing and for changing the sign of a value to positive or negative. Use these
keys at any time when the active function requires a value input. The backspace
key function changes with the situation.
If you are modifying a previously entered value:
• If the value is negative, pressing the backspace key deletes the entire value and leaves
the negative sign. Subsequent key presses change the sign between positive and
negative states.
• If the value is positive, pressing the backspace key deletes the entire value and also
changes the sign to a negative state. Subsequent key presses change the sign between
positive and negative states.
If you are entering a new value:
• If the cursor is to the right of the digits, pressing the backspace key deletes the digit
immediately to the left. When no digits remain, subsequent key presses change the sign
between positive and negative states.
• If the cursor is on a digit, pressing the backspace key deletes the digit immediately to
the left. When a single digit remains, pressing the backspace key changes the negative
sign (if present) to positive and then subsequent key presses have no effect.
These keys have autorepeat capability (except for the decimal point key). Hold a
key down and its function is continuously executed until you release it.
