Editing Values
When you edit the value of an option setting, follow these guidelines:
• Use the keys on the keypad to enter numbers and letters.
• To enter letters by using the keypad, use a corresponding number key. Press
the key one or more times to display a particular letter. For example, press the
2 key once for “a,” twice quickly for “b,” and three times quickly for “c.”
After you pause, the cursor automatically advances to allow you to enter the
next letter.
• To enter a period (for example, in an IP address), press the . (period) softkey
or press * on the keypad.
• Press the << softkey if you make a mistake. This softkey deletes the character
to the left of the cursor.
