Using t he 41-Key Keyboard
The 41-key keyboard has standard numeric keys, an [Enter] key, user-de-
fined function keys in its primary plane, and alphabetic keys in its
secondary plane. Because a 41-key keyboard does not have alphabetic keys,
do the following to enter passwords and cold-start the 6400 Computer:
S To enter the password f or the Set-Up Parms TE configuration menu,
press [SHFT] [Blue] [3] or [SHFT] [F12] [3] to enter a “C”,
[SHFT] [Blue] [F8] or [SHFT] [F11] [3] to enter an “R,” then press
“52401.” Note that these are not case-sensitive.
S To initiate the COLD START? menu option, press [Blue] [F 11] [RST]
to answer “yes.”
You can use one of two methods to type letters on the 41-key keyboard:
standard blue shift mode or alpha lock mode. When engaged, alpha lock
switches the alphabetic keys with the function keys. That is, it moves
lowercase alphabetic keys from their standard [Blue] plane to the primary
plane. It moves uppercase alphabetic keys from their standard
[SHFT] [Blue] plane to the [SHFT] plane. Alpha lock provides a faster
way to type a series of letters because it r educes the number of key presses.
To engage alpha lock mode press [Blue] [Gold]. Then, to type a series of
letters, press the correct key combination. The keyboard stays in alpha lock
mode until you press [Blue] [Gold] again to unlock it.
