Appendix “A” – Text entry with the transmitter’s keypad

Each number on the transmitter’s keypad is accompanied by three or four letters

or characters. This arrangement allows us to quickly and easily enter numeric and

textual information into the controller.
The method of entry is identical to that used on most cell phones. If you can enter

names and phone numbers into your cell phone’s address book you can use text entry

on the transmitter.
When you want to enter text, a locomotive’s name, for example, you can press a

number key once to enter a number or you can press that key two or more times to

cycle through the other available characters. Once the character you want appears on

the screen pause for a bit over a second and the cursor will automatically move to the

right for the next character. You can back up to make corrections with the left arrow

key. You can move to the right with right arrow key.
Here is a list of each key and the number of times you must press it to get each

character.
