Lowercase and Uppercase Letters
To enter lowercase letters press the appropriate letter key. To enter uppercase letters hold
down the Shift key, and then press the desired letter key like you do on your computer
keyboard. Alternatively, you can press and release the Shift key and then press the
desired letter. Only this next letter will be capitalized.
Numbers, Punctuation, and Symbols
The number keys are located at the top of the keyboard. Some symbols and punctuation
marks are also provided as keys on the keyboard. If you need a punctuation mark or a
symbol that is not shown, press the SYM key
on the bottom row of the keyboard.
You will see a menu of punctuation marks and symbols. Use the select wheel to choose
the character you desire and it will appear in your text entry box.
Tip: When you are entering text, you will see additional alternate keys shown at the top
of the text box to help you enter common symbols and edit your message.
These helpers work in conjunction with the ALT key
to quickly enter the desired
symbol or move the cursor in your text. Hold down the ALT key and press the number
corresponding to the symbol you would like to enter as shown at the top of the text box.
1.4 Status Indicators
At the bottom of every screen, you also see two status indicators to keep you in the know.
Whispernet Status Indicators
The Whispernet status indicator shows you whether the wireless radio is turned on or off,
the signal strength of your Whispernet service, and the connection speed. Here are the
possible indicators and their meaning.
The Whispernet service is active and your Kindle has a strong signal. The more bars that
are filled in with black, the stronger the wireless signal.
The 1X letters at the top of the antenna icon indicate that your Kindle is connected to the
1XRTT wireless network which is slower than the usual Whispernet service. You will
notice that your wireless activities take longer in this mode. Kindle will automatically
switch back to the faster EVDO network when available.
