The numeric screens will display numbers only (shown above, left). Alpha/

numeric screens will display numbers across the top and letters along the

bottom rows (shown above, right). Letters appear as a common keyboard

arrangement.

When an alpha or numeric character is required, the display will show the alpha/

numeric entry screen. To select a character, highlight it by using the arrows to

move the highlight box over the desired selection. Then, press Enter on the

keypad to confirm the selection. After confirming the selection, it will appear

in the line at the top of the display.

For capital letters or lower case entry, highlight “SHIFT” and press Enter on the

keypad to change the characters from upper to lower case.

screens by deleting one character at a time. Use the “SPACE” function to add a

space between characters.

highlight <<<ENTER>>> at the bottom of the screen and press Enter on the

keypad to confirm.

The key cannot be used to escape to the previous menu from
