2 The Pinyin system page opens in ‘Pinyin Input’ mode (see Figure 19 (a) on
page 11). Press the Edit Text key to change to ‘Edit Text’ mode (see Figure 19 (b) on
page 11). Press the key again to return to ‘Pinyin Input’ mode. The active text box
has a yellow highlight. The two modes operate as follows:
• Edit Text—This option allows you to enter characters accessed from the
selected current keyboard in ‘Default’ or ‘Shift’ mode in the upper text box. You
can change between the two modes to add characters in ‘Pinyin Input’ mode. If
necessary, use the Right arrow or Left arrow to move the cursor to the required
position in the text box.
• Pinyin Input—This option allows you to enter Latin characters in the lower
text box. When you enter each character in the box, the Simplified Chinese
characters that match the entered text are displayed in the grid below.
