you may find that you type the same words over and over, such
as POLICE, FIRE, SHERIFF, STATE, CITY, COUNTY, etc.
A few common QuickText words are provided for your
convenience. You can keep these, edit them to your preferences,
or replace them with your own custom QuickText words.
QuickText can be used while editing any alphanumeric text field.
To insert a stored QuickText item, while editing an alphanumeric
text field use the keys to position the cursor where you what
the QuickText inserted, then press the QTXT softkey. The top row
of the display will show the available QuickText phrases. Use the
keys to scroll through the stored QuickText phrases, and

As a shortcut, you may press the number key on the numeric

use, instead of scrolling and pressing
Customizing QuickText
To edit the QuickText words, press
Scroll down to the QTXT section using the key on the 5-way
pushbutton pad and find the QTXT storage location that you wish
to change. Press the key to edit the QTXT entry. Use the
standard text entry method to enter your desired text. When you
use your QTXT entry in a text field, any unused spaces will be
filled with space characters. If you want to leave room for
additional text after the QTXT is loaded into a text field, include a
space after your text, then a dollar sign ($). This will place one
space after your QTXT when you use your QTXT in a text field,
and the edit cursor will be positioned just after that space where
you can continue appending text in the text field before you save
it. For example, if you use the entry SHERIFF in the QTXT
storage location, your text entry field will look like this after you
load the QTXT "SHERIFF":
SHERIFF
if you use the entry SHERIFF $ in the QTXT storage location,
your text entry field will look like this after you load the QTXT
"SHERIFF":
SHERIFF ░←
Once you are finished editing your QTXT storage location, press
the SAVE softkey to save the QTXT, then press the SAVE softkey
again to save the changes you made to the GLOB menu.
