Common Operations
Temporary Storage of Character Strings
Up to 8 confirmed strings are automatically stored. When the number of confirmed
strings exceeds 8, the strings are deleted in order starting from the oldest string.
For items with a string set as a default value such as channel labels, up to 8 strings
including the initial string can be temporarily stored. Even when the number of confirmed
string exceeds 8, the default string is not cleared. The oldest of the 7 confirmed strings
excluding the default string is deleted.
Recalling
(Note that the unconfirmed string that is displayed in the entry box of the
keyboard is overwritten when a string is recalled using the procedure in step 1
below.)
1. Every time the
soft key is pressed, strings that are temporarily stored appear
in order from the newest string in the input box of the keyboard. When the 8
strings that are temporarily stored are displayed, the newest string is displayed
again.
2. You can also edit the recalled string by performing steps 1 to 4 of “Entering
Strings” described above. When the string is confirmed, it is temporarily stored
as a new string.
