Creating Uppercase Letters
To choose the second letter in the sequence—in this example, the letter b:
• Press the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’. A shift-state indi-
cator icon in the taskbar will represent the orange key with a black frame
around it to indicate that this key is locked ‘on’.
• Press numeric key <2> twice to display the letter b.
To choose the third letter in the sequence—in this example, the letter c:
• Press the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’.
• Press numeric key <2> three times to display the letter c.
Note: Keep in mind that there is a timeout if you pause for one second
between key presses when selecting the second, third or fourth letters
on a key. For example, suppose you want to type the letter ‘c’–you’d need
to press the <2> key three times. With the <ORANGE> key locked ‘on’, if
you press <2> twice and then pause between key presses for 1 second, the
letter ‘b’ will be selected automatically.
3.6.3.2 Creating Uppercase Letters
To display capital letters, you need to first activate the <CAPS> key. You’ll find this
key in orange print above the <.> (period) key.
• Press <ALPHA/ORANGE> followed by the <.> (period) key to turn on the
<CAPS> key.
All alpha keys are displayed in uppercase until you press <ALPHA/ORANGE> <.>
again to switch the <CAPS> key off.
3.6.3.3 Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters
• Press the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’.
Each time you press a numeric key from <2> through <9>, an alpha character will
be displayed on the screen. Remember that you can refer to the taskbar for a visual
indication of which alpha key will be displayed on the screen.
Important: Once you have finished typing alpha characters, remember to
turn off or unlock the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key. Check the
taskbar to make certain that the shift-state indicator icon (refer to
Figure 3.9 on page 32) is replaced by the soft keyboard icon.
