The 36-Key Keyboard
Choosing A Single Alpha Character
The examples below illustrate how to access A, B and C, all of which are printed in
orange characters above the numeric key, <2>.
To choose the letter ‘a’:
• Press the <ORANGE> key, and press the numeric key <2>.
To choose the letter ‘b’:

Creating Uppercase Letters
To display a capital letter:
• Press the <ORANGE> key and then the <SHIFT> key before typing the alpha character.
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.
