Entering Non-Alpha Characters

To enter a space in an alpha entry, press the 9 digit key followed by the third Select key/area. The three
characters on the 9 digit key are Y, Z, and space. You can also enter the following characters: – (dash), . (period),
* (asterisk), and # (pound sign) using the 0 (zero) key and the four Select keys/areas from left to right. For
example, to enter a – (dash), press the 0 (zero) key and then the left Select key/area. A dash now appears in the
keypad display. The table below shows the character locations for DMP keypads.

5.8 Keypad Displays Current Programming
Each programming prompt displayed at the keypad shows the currently selected option in the communicator
memory. These options are either shown as a number, a blank, or a NO or YES. To change a number or blank to a
new number, press any top row Select key or touch any Select Area. The current option is replaced with a dash.
Press the number(s) on the keypad you want to enter as the new number for that prompt. It is not necessary to
enter numbers with leading zeros. The communicator automatically right justifies the number when you press
the COMMAND key.
To change a programming prompt that requires a NO or YES response, press the Select key or touch the Select
Area for the response not selected.
For example, if the current prompt is selected as YES and you want to change it to NO, on Thinline or Aqualite
keypads press the third top row Select key. On Graphic Touchscreen keypads touch Select Area 3. The display
changes to NO. Press the COMMAND key to display the next prompt.
