Choosing More Than One Alpha Character From The Same Key
If you need to choose more than one alpha character from a single key, you’ll need
to press the ‘Accept’ key between alpha selections. The ‘Accept’ key is presented as
a double arrow < ⇒> above the ‘0’ (zero) key. Pressing this key signals the terminal
to display the alpha character you’ve chosen and await the next selection from the
same key.
For example, suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’. These letters are
all accessible from the numeric key, <1>.
To type the letter ‘a’:
• Press the <ORANGE> key, and then press the numeric key, <1>.
• Press the ‘Accept’ key < ⇒> to indicate that the letter ‘a’ should be
accepted and that another letter from the same key will be chosen.
To type the letter ‘b’:
• Press the <1> key twice to choose the letter ‘b’.
• Press < ⇒> to accept the letter ‘b’.
To type the letter ‘c’:
• Press the <1> key three times to choose the letter ‘c’.
When you have completed your alpha selections from this key, you can do one of the
following:
• If you want to choose additional alpha characters from another key(s),
leave the <ORANGE> key ‘on’, and press the next numeric key that
supports the alpha character you require.
• If you do not want to choose any additional alpha characters, press the
<ORANGE> key to end alpha selection.
