3 Continue pressing ALPHA as many times as required to display the desired
character. For example, press 2 to display the number 2; press ALPHA once
to display the letter A, twice to display B, or three times to display C. If you
press ALPHA one more time, you cycle back to the number 2.
If two or more characters display on the Omni 37xx screen, pressing ALPHA
changes the last character on the line to the next letter, number, or symbol in the
key sequence.
The following table provides additional examples of how to use the ALPHA key to
select ASCII characters from the 12-key Telco-style keypad.
The following table lists all the ASCII characters you can type using the ALPHA
key and the Telco keypad.
NOTE
If you firmly press and hold down one of the keys on the 12-key keypad without
using ALPHA, the same character repeats until you stop pressing the key. For
example, if you press 2 and hold it down, “2222222...” displays.
