1.12 Using the Onscreen Keyboard
When you start a program or select a field that requires text or numbers, the onscreen keyboard
becomes available.
Tips
• When you do not need the keyboard, you can close it by pressing BACK. To show the keyboard
again, touch a text box onscreen or when a text field is selected, press the
TRACKBALL.
• If you need to insert or delete a character, use the
TRACKBALL to position the cursor next to the
character you want to edit.
Note The available keys on the keyboard will be different depending on the current text field selected.
For example, in Browser, when you are in the URL field, some keys at the bottom row are replaced with
alternate keys (for example, .com key) to make it faster for you to type web addresses.
