Using the keys on the handset
There are two ways to use the keys on the handset. You can:
•press a key
• hold a key
Pressing a key means to press a key until the handset makes a
short beep sound, then release the key.
Holding a key means to press and hold a key until the handset
makes a short beep followed by a higher pitched beep, then
release the key.
The two actions perform different functions. The instructions
in this guide specify whether you need to press or hold a key
to perform a task.
The scroll keys
The and keys are the scroll keys. Use these keys to scroll
up or down through any kind of list, to scroll left or right over
text, and to increase or decrease a value.
The and keys
The and keys are context sensitive: their functions
change according to the task you are performing. For example,
to select an item and navigate down through the lists in the
transceiver, press the key. To navigate up through the lists,
press the key. To edit a setting, hold the key. To discard
your changes, hold the key.
NOTE
Detailed information on the function of the keys
on the handset is provided on page 23, The
handset and page 59, Standard hot keys.
NOTE
The keys will only beep if the Key Beep entry in
the Control List is set to On.
