Accessing Function Keys
Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters From A Range Of Keys
If you plan on choosing alpha characters from a number of different keys, you are
not required to press the ‘Accept’ < ⇒> key after each alpha selection. The < ⇒>
key is only required when you are choosing more than one alpha character from the
same key – e.g., ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ from the <1> key.
Pressing the next key in a sequence of keys or pressing the <ORANGE> key to end
alpha selection accepts the alpha characters in the same way as pressing the ‘Accept’
< ⇒> key.
This is how it works. Suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘d’ and ‘g’. These
alpha characters are accessed from the numeric keys <1>, <2> and <3>.
• With the <ORANGE> key activated, press <1> to type the letter ‘a’.
• Press <2> to type ‘d’, and press <3> to type the letter ‘g’.
• To end alpha selection, press the <ORANGE> key a second time.
3.5.2 Accessing Function Keys
36-key 7035 terminals are equipped with 30 function keys, the first 10 of which are
directly accessible on the keyboard. The remaining 20 require key combinations.
Accessing Function Keys <F1> To <F10>
Function keys <F1> to <F10> are directly accessible by pressing the appropriate
function key on the keyboard – that is, a key combination is not required.
<F1> to <F4> are located along the top of the keyboard. <F5> to <F10> are located
at the bottom of the keyboard.
For example:
• To access function key <F1>, press <F1>.
• To access function key <F2>, press <F2>, and so on through to <F10>.
Accessing “ORANGE” Function Keys <F11> To <F20>
Accessing <F11> to <F20> requires pressing the <ORANGE> key and then, the
appropriate function key from <F1> to <F10>.
