ESC Escape. This key is used to stop and exit current operation
Arrow.The two arrow keys located below the Scan key are used to toggle up and
down between menu selections.
The toggle key for Alphabet/Numeral input.
When the system is in alpha-mode, a small icon will be shown in the lower right
corner of the display. Each numeric key can be used to generate one of the three
capital letters located on that number key. For example, numeral 2 can be used to
produce A, B, or C. Pressing the same key twice within one second, will produce
the letter B. Pressing the same key without halting longer than one second, will
allow the user to toggle through the three letters. When the key has been
depressed for longer than one second or another key has been pressed, the unit
will send the real key code to the application program.
The function key.
This key cannot be activated alone; it must be pressed with one of the numeric
keys at the same time. For example, FN + 1 generates function #1, FN + 2
generates function #2, etc (up to 9 functions). Also, this key can be combined with
the UP/DOWN arrow keys to adjust the contrast of the LCD. And when this key is
combined with the ENTER key, it will turn ON/OFF the backlight.
