The numeric / alphabet / symbol keys are used for entering numbers, letters
and symbols. In a situation where only a number is expected, for example,
when dialing a phone number, pressing a key will enter the corresponding
digit. For example, pressing will enter the number 2. In a situation where
alphabet or symbol or both are allowed - such as entering a URL address you
will need to press the same key repeatedly to reach the character you want.
For example, pressing two times will enter the letter A. To enter alphabets
in lower or upper case, you need to be in lower case mode or upper case mode,
respectively. A soft key (i.e. ) is used to switch between the two modes. The
current mode is indicated by one of the following icons shown on
the LCD screen.
