This has a similar operation to [SHIFT] except that you only have to press it once.
From then on each letter that you type in will be in capitals, although the number
keys will not be shifted.
Press [CAPS LOCK] once, then type in:
abcdef123456
On the screen you will see:
ABCDEF123456
You will notice that although all the letters are shifted to capitals, the numbers have
not been shifted to symbols. If you wish to type in a shifted symbol while
[CAPS LOCK] is in· operation, simply hold down the [SHIFT] key before pressing a
number key. Type in the following while holding down the [SHIFT] key:
abcdef123456
On the screen you will see:
ABCEDF!"#$%&

key once again.
