CHARACTER DATA: Character data is used to enter LCD text when programming (see 
[*]-[9]-[2] feature for custom messages). Custom zone descriptions and messages are 
stored using character or ASCII data types. This information is programmed using the 
bottom line of the display as a text editor. Once a character location has been entered, 
the current data will be displayed on the bottom line. As always, the top line will display 
the current location and segment number. The five (5) function keys, as well as the ‘up’ 
and ‘down’ arrows to the right of the display, are now used to edit the message before 
saving it back to the location storage. An underscore (_) in the display indicates the 
current cursor location. To move the cursor to the right, press the [*] key. To move the 
cursor to the left, press the [Cancel] key. To change the character at the current cursor 
location, press the Up or Down Arrow until the desired character is displayed. To accept 
this character, press the [*] key. The character will remain, and the cursor will advance 
one space to the right. 
You can also immediately select a character from the underlying table. By doing this you 
can quickly form a word without having to scroll down all characters in the list 
Follow the procedure below to select a character: 
Step 1 
Enter the double figured number of the wanted character of the table 
below. 
Step 2  Confirm the character by pressing the [*] key. 
Step 3  Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the complete word is formed.
