22 The Core Keypad

[BACKSPACE]

In Normal Mode, the [BACKSPACE] key is commonly used to delete

a number, letter, or symbol that is typed on the terminal’s display

screen. You press [BACKSPACE] one time to delete the last

character typed on a line. To delete additional characters, moving

from right to left, you press the [BACKSPACE] key multiple times,

once for each character.

In System Mode, you use the [BACKSPACE] key in the same way.

That is, to delete characters you have typed on the display screen. The

specific effect of pressing [BACKSPACE] depends on which System

Mode function you select.

[ALPHA]

In Normal Mode, the [ALPHA] key is similar to the [SHIFT] key on a

typewriter. That is, you can use it to enter one of the two or more

characters or symbols that are assigned to individual keys on the

12-key Telco-style keypad. To use the [ALPHA] key to enter up to 50

different ASCII characters, follow this procedure:

1. Press the key on the 12-key keypad which shows the letter or

symbol you want. (For example, you would use the [2] key to

type the letters A, B, or C.) The number (1–9 or 0) or the symbol

(* or #) you pressed is now displayed.

2. Press the [ALPHA] key once to display the first letter. Continuing

our example, [2] [ALPHA] displays the letter A.

3. Continue pressing the [ALPHA] key as many times as required to

display the character you want. For example, you would press the

[2] key and then the [ALPHA] key once to display A, twice to

display B, or three times to display the letter C. If you press

[ALPHA] one more time, the letter A is displayed again.

Note: If you firmly press and hold down one of the keys on the

12-key keypad without using the [ALPHA] key, the same character

repeats until you stop pressing the key. For example, if you press only

the [2] key and hold it down, you get ‘2222222...’.
