How is Text Entry Done?
Text entry is done via the numeric keypad in a fashion similar to cur-
rent cell phone text entry. Each key, 2 through 9, has three or four
letters displayed above it.
There is no dedicated key to switch between alpha and numeric
mode. On those screens (and only those screens) where either an
alpha or numeric character may be entered (e.g. preset names,
postal codes, account names), press a numeric key to cycle through
the 4 possibilities for that key. For example, pressing the “2” numeric
key cycles through "2" - "A" - "B" - "C". Extended character sets are
provided for foreign markets on a country-by-country basis. In those
cases, a numeric key may be pressed more than four times to cycle
through the complete character set associated with a key.

Postal Codes
In postal codes, all alpha characters are uppercase. For non-US
postal codes that follow a fixed format of alpha and numeric charac-
ters, only the appropriate alpha or numeric in each specific position
is allowed.

Custom Preset Names and Account Names
For Preset names, and Account names, the first letter of the first
word automatically defaults to uppercase.
If you wish to enter two consecutive alpha characters that are located
on the same numeric key (such as “DE”), you must wait for the cursor
to automatically move right to the second character’s position before
entering the second character. There is about a 1-second delay follow-
ing an alpha entry before the cursor moves one position to the right.
