Key Function
Alt
The Alt key enables the alternate functions of the keypad. This function is similar to a
regular keyboard’s Alt key. Note that the Alt key only stays active for one keystroke.
Each time you need to use an alternate function, you need to press the Alt key before
pressing the desired key.
When the Alt function is active, the Alt LED illuminates.
Shft
The Shft key enables the shifted functions of the keypad. This function is similar to a
regular keyboard’s Shift key. Note that the Shift key only stays active for one
keystroke. Each time you need to use a Shifted function, you need to press the Shft
key before pressing the desired key. When the Shft function is active, the Shft LED
illuminates.
When the Shft key is pressed the next key is determined by the major key legends,
i.e., the alpha keys display lower case letters – when CAPS is On alpha characters are
capitalized. For example, when CAPS is on and the Shft key and the G key are
pressed, a lower case g is displayed.
Spc
The Spc key adds a space to the line of data on the display. This function is similar to
a regular keyboard’s Spacebar. Note that the Spc key only stays active for one
keystroke.
Caps Key and CapsLock Mode
This function is similar to a regular keyboard’s CapsLock key. Note that the CapsLock mode stays
active until the CapsLock key sequence is pressed again. Each time you need to use a Caps
function, you need to press the Caps key sequence first. To cancel a CapsLock function press the
Caps key sequence again. When the CapsLock mode is active, the Caps LED illuminates.
The CapsLock key sequence is 2
nd
