The procedure for entering messages into the module is interactive:
Step 1 - Remove power before plugging keyboard into the module.
Step 2 - Depress any key to enter the edit mode.
Step 3 - The module asks you for a message number:
Step 4 - Type a message number (1 to 120) and depress ENTER or depress
ENTER to edit message number displayed.
Step 5 - If the number you entered has a message assigned to it, the module
displays that message for you to edit.
If the number is unassigned, you get a blank display, with the cursor in the
left–most position.
Step 6 - Enter a message by typing the text you want - up to 16 characters.
(See the following page for a list of editing commands.)
Step 7 - Depress ENTER to complete the message and save it in EEPROM.
Step 8 - The module adds one to the message number, then
Step 9 - Depress Control–R any time to end the entry / edit session.
Storing
Messages go into EEPROM as you create them. When you depress ENTER
to complete a message, the Module stores the message automatically. No
special procedures are needed.
Editing
The message editing function is exactly the same as the message entry
function.
When you have a message on the display, any characters you type will
overwrite the characters on the display. Store the message, when you have it
to your liking, by depressing ENTER.
