keys of the alphanumeric keypad are printed on the keys. Example: With the
<7/PQRS> key you can enter the following characters: 7, P, Q, R, S, p, q, r, s.

mobile phone). When pressing a key that is assigned to several characters
once, the respective numeral appears first. To enter a numeral, one
keypressing is always sufficient.

characters possible with this key. The currently selected character is
highlighted.
