keypad will revert to normal display approximately 10 seconds after the key is released.

press the  key twice, or for the letter ‘s’ press the  key four times.
In addition, the keys are used as follows:

= move cursor left
= clears cursor / adds a space
 = moves cursor right
4.6 Accessing the Engineers Menu on Any Keypad
