Entering letters and numbers

and numbers, it may be necessary to reel
via the controller to the corresponding Input
mode, e.g. when the
spelling of upper and lower case letters is
identical.
- Enter characters as they are displayed on
the Control Display.
- Always enter associated characters, such
as accents or periods so that the letter can
be clearly recognized. Possible input depends
on the set language. Where necessary,
enter special characters via the controller.
- To delete a character, slide to the left on
the touchpad.
- To enter a blank space, slide to the right in
the center of the touchpad.
