F9 Enables command mode. See Command Mode Quick Reference.
F10 Sets speed mode. Changes the WPM of the code. Esc exits.
F11 Engages the output tune. Esc exits.
F12 Decrements the serial number. The keyer will echo a "D" for every decrement.
Alt Used for making prosigns by removing the intercharacter spacing of keys pressed
while the Alt key is also pressed. For example, to produce the prosign
(.-.-.-)
hold the Alt key down, press A three times, then release Alt. Also used in
conjunction with keys F1 - F8 to store message memories.
Alt-Print Screen Plays the EPROM code version number of your unit.
Backspace Deletes the last character entered into message memory or the last character entered
into the type-ahead buffer if that character has not already been transmitted.
Esc Exits any mode.
Pause Enters pause mode. The keyer will stop the current message being played and will
resume when Esc is pressed.
Enter Stores a stop character at the end of message memory.
Shift Enables upper case characters if applicable. If the upper case character does not
have a Morse translation then the keyboard simply repeats the lower case character.
For example, Shift-A is the same as "A" but Shift - ";" produces ":"
Spacebar Inserts a word break space into the message in normal operation. While the MFJ-
452 is in handkey mode the spacebar is a straight key.
