Function Key
Use the four software-defined function keys, located below the LCD, to
perform software functions. On any given menu, the label appearing
above a function key indicates the function of that key for the current
menu. As you move among menus, different function key labels appear
over the four keys. For example, in menus providing access to on-line
help, the label may appear above the F1 key. In menus providing
access to the Home Menu, the label may appear above the F3 key.
Simply press the key to activate the function. See your Handheld
Communicator manual for details on specific Function Key definitions.
Alphanumeric and
Shift Keys
The Alphanumeric keys perform two functions: the fast selection of menu
options and data entry.

Data Entry
Some menus require data entry. Use the Alphanumeric and Shift keys to enter
all alphanumeric information into the Handheld Communicator. If you press an
Alphanumeric key alone from within an edit menu, the bold character in the
center of the key appears. These large characters include the numbers zero
through nine, the decimal point (.), and the dash symbol (—).
To enter an alphabetic character, first press the Shift key that corresponds to
the position of the letter you want on the alphanumeric key. Then press the
alphanumeric key. For example, to enter the letter R, first press the right Shift
key, then the “6” key (see Figure H-4 on page H-4). Do not press these keys
simultaneously, but one after the other.
MENUS AND
FUNCTIONS
The Handheld Communicator is a menu driven system. Each screen provides
a menu of options that can be selected as outlined above, or provides
direction for input of data, warnings, messages, or other instructions.
