Choosing More Than One Alpha Character From The Same Key
If you need to choose more than one alpha character from a single key, you’ll need to press the ‘Accept’ key between alpha selections. The ‘Accept’ key is presented as an arrow
⇒ symbol above the ‘0’ (zero) key. Pressing this key signals the 7535 to display the alpha character you’ve chosen and await the next selection from the same key.
For example, suppose you want to type the letters ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’. These letters are all accessible from the numeric key, <2>.
To type the letter ‘a’:
• Press the <ORANGE> key twice to lock it ‘on’, and then press the numeric key, <2>.
• Press the ‘Accept’ key <
⇒
> to indicate that the letter ‘a’ should be accepted and that another letter from the same key will be chosen.
To type the letter ‘b’:
• Press the <2> key twice.
• Press <
⇒
> to accept the letter ‘b’.
To type the letter ‘c’:
• Press the <2> key three times.
When you have completed your alpha selections from this key, you can do one of the following:
• If you want to choose additional alpha characters from another key(s), leave the <ORANGE> key ‘on’, and press the next numeric key that supports the alpha character you require.
• If you do not want to choose any additional alpha characters, press
<ORANGE> again to unlock or turn ‘off’ the key and end alpha selection.
Choosing Multiple Alpha Characters From A Range Of Keys
If you plan on choosing alpha characters from a number of different keys, you are
not required to press the ‘Accept’ <
⇒
> key after each alpha selection. The <
⇒
> key is only required when you are choosing more than one alpha character from the
same key – e.g., ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘c’ from the <2> key.
