symbols you need in your language or country. It will

also specify the language in which error messages

appear on the display.

). An abbreviation of

a language will appear. Use Q or R to scroll through

the alphabetical list of language abbreviations until

you reach the one you require. Then press

to select.

can scroll through a sequence of characters based on

that letter. For example, pressing the Ekey repeatedly

- é - è - ê - ë. If you wait for more than one second, the

character will be selected, and the cursor will move on

to the next position.

and the cursor will move on to the next position.

of your LetraTAG XR, in as many as 20 labels. These

characters will remain in the buer, even if you switch
