01Operating This TemPad
Every page can be read and used with the keyboard alone, or with the keys on the deck. Handbook pages have two panels: the file index on the left and the file itself.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| ↑ ↓ | Move the cursor (D-pad on the deck) to the previous / next link, button, classified bar or field. If the next one is out of view, the panel scrolls instead, so no text is skipped. |
| ← → | Switch between the file index and the file. On the action list, move between the icons and the menu; inside a program, ← goes back. |
| ENTER / OK | Open or press the item under the cursor. Opening a file from the index keeps you in the index on the next page. On a text field, start typing; ESC stops typing. |
| SPACE / PAGE↓ / PAGE↑ | Scroll the active panel a page at a time. HOME and END jump to the top or bottom. |
| [ ] | Previous / next file. |
| ESC / BACKSPACE / BACK | Go back to exactly where you were: the same page, scroll position and selection. With no history, go up one level. |
| / or MENU | Main menu. On a phone, MENU opens the file index. |
| 1–6 | Programs from the action list, from any page. |
| D / DOOR | Open the Time Door program. |
| F / SCREEN | Screen mode: hides the case so your phone or monitor becomes the TemPad. On a phone, turn it sideways. |
| CRT switch | Turn scanlines and glow off if you are reading for a long time. |
