Entering Text
When you are setting certain menu selections, such as the Station

have three or four letters printed above them. The keys for

the character you want.

numbers. To enter a space in the name, press   twice between 
characters.

If you entered a letter incorrectly and want to change it, press   to 
move the cursor under the incorrect character. Then press 
Stop/Exit. All letters above and to the right of the cursor will be 
deleted. Re-enter the correct character. You can also back up and 
type over incorrect letters.

If you need to enter a character that is on the same key as the 
previous character, press   to move the cursor to the right before 
you press the key again.
