QuickText
QuickText allows you to store up to 10 commonly
used text items for instant recall while editing
alphanumeric fields. For example, as you search,
store, and name new CONV or TGRP objects,
you may find that you type the same words over
and over, such as POLICE, FIRE, SHERIFF, STATE,
CITY, COUNTY, etc.
• A few common QuickText words are provided
for your convenience. You can keep these,
edit them to your preferences, or replace
them with your own custom QuickText words.
• QuickText can be used while editing any
alphanumeric text field.
To insert a stored QuickText item:
1. While editing an alphanumeric text field,
press t or u to position the cursor where
you want the QuickText inserted, then press
the
QTXT softkey.
The top row of the display will show the
available QuickText phrases.
2. Press p or q to scroll through the stored
QuickText phrases, and press SEL to insert
the QuickText phrase at the cursor location.
As a shortcut, press the number key on the
numeric keypad that corresponds with the
QuickText item you wish to use, instead of
scrolling and pressing SEL.
Customizing QuickText
To edit the QuickText words:
