Chapter 3: Getting to Know the EP10

The Numeric Keyboard – Accessing Alpha Keys

Psion EP10 Hand-Held Computer User Manual

Numeric Keyboard Access

On a numeric keyboard, the Function keys [F1] to [F10] are assigned to numeric keys [1] through [0].

• Press [SHIFT] followed by a numeric key from [1] to [10] to activate the associated Function key.

Alpha Keyboard Access

On an alpha keyboard, the Function keys are labelled in blue print in the lower-right corner of alpha keys [Y]

through [N]. To access Function keys [F1] to [F10]:

• Press the [BLUE/FN] key followed by the alpha key that corresponds with the Function key you want to

activate. For example, press [BLUE/FN] [Y] to activate [F1], press [BLUE/FN] [U] to activate [F2], and

so on.

3.3.4.2 The Macro Keys

While Macro keys are not physically stamped on the keyboard, up to 12 macro functions can be added using

the Scancode Remapping function. Refer to “Scancode Remapping” on page 132 for details about mapping

keys.

For details about creating a macro, refer to “Macro Keys” on page 130.

3.3.5 The Numeric Keyboard – Accessing Alpha Keys

On numeric keypads, you’ll need to take a few extra steps to access the alphabetic characters.

3.3.5.1 Choosing a Single Alpha Character

The examples below illustrate how to access, A, B and C, all of which are printed in blue characters above

the numeric key [2].

To choose the letter a:

• Press the [SHIFT] key, and type the numeric key [2].

To choose the second letter in the sequence – in this example, the letter b:

• Lock the [SHIFT] key ‘on’. The shift-state indicator icon in the taskbar represents the [SHIFT] key in

yellow with a black frame around it to indicate that this key is locked ‘on’.

• Press numeric key [2] twice to display the letter b.

To choose the third letter in the sequence – in this example, the letter c:

•Lock the [SHIFT] key ‘on’.

• Press numeric key [2] three times to display the letter c.

3.3.5.2 Creating Uppercase Letters

To display capital letters.

•Lock the [SHIFT] key ‘on’.

All alpha keys are displayed in uppercase until you press the [SHIFT] key again to ‘unlock’ (switch off) the

function of this key.

Important: The letters you choose appear in the shift-indicator icon at the bottom of the

screen, providing a visual indicator of which letter will be displayed on the screen.

Note: To choose the second, third or fourth alpha character assigned to a numeric key, you may

want to lock the [SHIFT] key ‘on’. Remember that depending on how your EP10 is set up in the

‘One Shots’ tab, you may find that you need to press the [SHIFT] key twice to lock it ‘on’. Refer

to “OneShots” on page 130 for details.

Note: Keep in mind that there is a time-out if you pause for one second between key presses when

selecting the second, third or fourth letters on a key. For example, suppose you want to type

the letter ‘c’ – you would need to press the [2] key three times. With the [SYM] key locked ‘on’,

if you press [2] twice and then pause between key presses for 1 second, the letter ‘b’ will be

selected automatically.
