On the screen 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 character key. Press the following
keys while holding down the [SHIFT] key:
A B C D E F 1 2 3 4 5 6
On the screen you will see:
A B C D E F ! " # $ % &
If you wish to return to small (lower case) characters again, press [CAPS LOCK] key once again.
If you wish to type in capital letters and shifted upper case symbols without having to constantly
hold down the [SHIFT] key, this can be carried out by holding down the [CTRL] key, then pressing
[CAPS LOCK] key once. Now type in:
a b c d e f 1 2 3 4 5 6
On the screen you will see:
A B C D E F ! " # $ % &
It is still possible to type in numbers while [CTRL] and [CAPS LOCK] are in operation, by using the
number keys to the right of the main keyboard.
Holding down the [CTRL] key and pressing [CAPS LOCK] once will return you to the mode that you
were previously in - CAPS LOCK or lower case. If you have returned to the CAPS LOCK mode,
simply press [CAPS LOCK] once again to return to the lower case mode..
