![15 Chapter 1 Using mobile computer This 24-key alphanumeric keypad enters num bers by default. The ke ypad’s alphabet key switches the keypad to al phabetic input. A few sy mbols are supp orted when the keypad sits in alphabetic input, whether uppercase or lowercase. Press the [α] key (repeatedly) until the mob ile computer shows a n “ A”, whi ch we might as well call “the alphabet icon”, at the lower-left of the screen. The keypad starts to enter all caps and a few symbols without holding down the [α] key. Press the [α] key (repeatedly) until the mo bile computer shows a n “a”, which we might as well call “the alphabet icon”, at the lower-left of the screen. The keypad starts to enter all lowercase letters and a few symbols without holding down the [α] key. Note the letter case doesn’t impact the symbols. An overview of the alphabet icons and the keypad’s input mode: Alphabet Icons Keypad’s Input Mode None Numbers, hyphen minus “-”, and dot “.” A All uppercase letters and symbols a All lowercase letters and symbols When inputting alph abetic characters, the l etters and the number printed on a k ey take turn to show where the cursor is when you keep pressing that key; each press must not exceed one second. Fo r example, when you keep press the num ber key [2], the letters “A”, “B”, “C” and the number “2” take turn to show for uppercase while “a”, “b”, “c” and “2” will take turn to show for lowercase. When you first press the number key [2], the letter “A” or “a” is produced. When yo u press the n umber key [2] t wice (t he ti me i nterval must not exceed one second), the letter “B” or “b” is produced. When yo u press the number key [2] three times (the ti me i nterval between each press must not exceed one second), the letter “C” or “c” is produced. When you press the number key [2] four times (the time interval between each press must not exceed one second), the number “2” is produced. In order to get the desired character, you ne ed to press the same key one to four times (the time interval between each press must not exceed one seco nd). Only when the pressing stops for longer than one second or another key is pressed will the system send out the due key code or change over to send another key code to the active application program. The [f n] key is pressed with a nu mber key . Upon you r pressing [f n] k ey, it s associated icon F displays at the bottom-left of the screen of the mobile computer. Press the second key, sa y [ 5], to com plete the key combi nation and pr oduce [F5] fu nction.

Press the [α] key (repeatedly) until the mob ile computer shows a n “ A”, whi ch we might as well call “the alphabet icon”, at the lower-left of the screen. The keypad starts to enter all caps and a few symbols without holding down the [α] key. Press the [α] key (repeatedly) until the mo bile computer shows a n “a”, which we might as well call “the alphabet icon”, at the lower-left of the screen.

Fo r example, when you keep press the num ber key [2], the letters “A”, “B”, “C” and the number “2” take turn to show for uppercase while “a”, “b”, “c” and “2” will take turn to show for lowercase. When you first press the number key [2], the letter “A” or “a” is produced. When yo u press the n umber key [2] t wice (t he ti me i nterval must not exceed one second), the letter “B” or “b” is produced.

When you press the number key [2] four times (the time interval between each press must not exceed one second), the number “2” is produced. In order to get the desired character, you ne ed to press the same key one to four times (the time interval between each press must not exceed one seco nd).
