38-Key Keyboard
Toggling Between Numeric and Alpha Modes
The 38-key keyboard defaults to numeric mode. Numeric mode is when you type numbers with the
number keys. Alpha mode is when you type the letter indicated on the overlay when you press the number
key.
Alpha Mode
Single-tap the ALPH key to toggle to alpha or numeric mode only for the next key pressed.
Shift Functionality in Alpha Mode
The SFT key performs all the normal windows shift key functions in alpha mode, including capitalizing one
letter. On the 38-key keyboard, the SFT key also toggles caps lock on and off.
• Single-tap the SFT key to modify the next key pressed; if this is a letter, that letter is capitalized.
• Double-tap the SFT key to toggle caps lock on and off in alpha mode.
Note: Check the mode indicator (see Keyboard Mode Indicator on page 4-3) in the Navigation bar to see what mode
the keyboard is in.
