The two scroll buttons allow you to scroll through lists, data

Touch

Screen

The main screen used to display information and enter data.

Use only a recommended plastic-tipped stylus when writing

on the touch screen.

Writing Pad /

Keypad

Use the writing pad to enter handwritten Graffiti characters.

Use the left side of the pad to enter alphabetic characters and

the right for numeric characters. Graffiti characters are similar

to normal characters but require fewer strokes (see Appendix

B).

You can also enter data using a pop-up keypad. Tap the “abc”

or “123” buttons to activate a pop-up keypad. Keypads make

it very easy to enter special characters.
