Text Input
Using this mode of text entry dramatically reduces the number of key presses
required:
Press a key once for any letter you require on that key. The desired letter may
not be displayed. Continue pressing other keys until the end of a word is
reached; then check that the word has been typed correctly before continuing
on to the next word.
If the combination of letters typed has produced a word which is not the one you
require, press
4 repeatedly until the correct word is displayed. Continue to the
next word.
If the word you require is not in the internal dictionary (i.e. it is a proper noun or
a rarely used word) then it should be entered using the Normal (U) mode.
Other Text Modes
To access any of the other text entry modes use A to cycle through until the
desired mode is displayed in the left side of the display.
When using Normal (U), Greek (V) or Extended (W) text entry modes,
each time a key is pressed in quick succession it will display the next character
available on that key. Releasing the key, or pressing another key will enter the
currently displayed character and the cursor will move to the next position.
Editing Text
Pressing 4 will move you up or down one text line.
Pressing
2 will move you left or right one character. When the cursor is moved
over a character and another key pressed this will insert the new character
immediately before the selected character. Pressing @ will delete the character
to the left of the cursor or delete the current line when pressed and held.
