Basic Keys
Alpha/Numeric Modes
28-key keypad: The keypad defaults to numeric mode. Use the ALPHA key to toggle between numeric and
alpha modes. Pressing the ALPHA key locks the keypad in numeric mode, alpha mode
(lowercase), or alpha mode (uppercase).
52-key keypad: The keypad is a full alpha and numeric keypad. Pressing the SFT key twice in rapid
succession toggles between upper and lowercase.
Alpha Indicators on the Number Keys
Each number key displays the characters typed when you press that key in alpha mode.
Note that when typing in alpha mode on the 28-key Dolphin 6500, you must use the same multi-press
method you would use when typing letters on a phone keypad. Each key press types the next letter in the
sequence as displayed by the alpha indicator.
