Entering TextC
When you are setting certain menu selections, such as the Station ID, you may need to enter text 
into the machine. Most dial pad keys have three or four letters printed on keys. The keys for  0, # 
and  l do not have printed letters because they are used for special characters.
By pressing the proper dial pad key repeatedly, you can access the character you want.

press  c twice between characters.
Making corrections
If you entered an incorrect letter and want to change it, press  d to move the cursor under the 
incorrect character. Then press  Clear/Back. Re-enter the correct character. You can also back 
up and insert letters.
Repeating letters
If you need to enter a letter that is on the same key as the letter before, press  c to move the cursor 
to the right before you press the key again.
Special characters and symbols
Press  l,  # or  0, and then press  dor c to move the cursor under the special character or symbol 
you want. Then press  OK to choose it.
