Entering letters and numbers
Entering letters requires some practice at the
beginning. When entering, pay attention to the
following:
The system recognizes capital and lower
case letters. For the input of upper/lower
case letters and numbers, it may be neces‐
sary to switch to the corresponding input
mode, e.g. when upper and lower case let‐
ters are written the same way. Switching
between cases, numbers and letters, refer
to page 24.
Enter characters as they are displayed on
the Control Display.
Always enter associated characters, such
as accents or periods so that the letter can

pends on the set language. Where neces‐
sary, enter special characters via the con‐
troller.
To delete a character, swipe to the left on
the touchpad.
To enter a blank space, slide to the right in
the center of the touchpad.
To enter a hyphen, slide to the right in the
