How to use the numeric key pad

If you waint to set a data value to some specific number (for example "57" or
"121") , use the numeric key pad. Press one or more keys 0-9 to specify the
number, press the - key to change the sign if necessary (when entering a nega-
tive number), and press ENTER. For example if you wanted to enter the number
"-18", you would press 1,8, -, ENTER. If the data value has a three-place range
(such as 0-127), there is no need to add a zero in front.
In most displays, the first digit you enter from the numeric key pad will be dis-
played blinking. When you enter the second digit the number will be finalized.
You will sometimes need to enter character data to specify a voice name, multi
name, file name, etc. When the currently selected parameter requires that you
enter character data, the numeric key pad will act in a different way than usual.
To try this out, jump to the Voice Name page by pressing the following keys in
order; JUMP, 2, 2, 9, ENTER. The following display will appear.
