Using the Numeric Keypad

The Dolphin’s numeric, splash-resistant keypad has 20 epoxy coated keys. The large,

amber-color keys are large, easy-to-read, and comfortably spaced to help prevent errors

in data entry. Digits can be entered without using the shift key.

Though designed primarily for numeric data entry, you can use the SHIFT key to

switch between numeric and alpha modes or to use special characters.
