ENTERING TEXT WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control can be used to enter text in all text fields. This text entry capability is provided to allow you to
fill out short text fields – such as those that occur in the setup and edit screens. FireBall MP-150's wireless keyboard
should be used when extended typing is required.

Entering Numeric Entry Mode

In fields where FireBall MP-150 expects only numeric characters to be entered (such as phone number fields), an
indicator will appear on the screen that displays the letters "123" indicating that only numbers can be entered.

Typing Characters with the Remote

The remote control based text entry capability is similar to that provided
on standard telephones and cell phones. Each numeric key has characters
associated with it that can be accessed by pressing the key one or more
times. You have .5 seconds after a key is pressed to enter a second
character from the same key. If you press the same key within .5 seconds,
the second character associated with that key replaces the initial character.
If you do not press the same key within .5 seconds, the text cursor moves
to the next location so that the same key can be pressed again to enter a
second character.
The "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", and "8" keys each support three letters and one
number and can be pressed from one to seven times to display upper case,
lower case, and numeric characters. The "7" and "9" keys both support
four letters and one number and can be pressed from one to nine times.
The "1" and "0" keys support all of the special characters and will cycle
through each character for every key press.
The text characters follow the same convention used by a standard
telephone – except in the case of the "1" and "0" keys which contain
additional characters.
When entering characters at the beginning of a field or characters that
follow a space, FireBall MP-150 assumes that upper case characters are
