BookCourier Quick Reference

Version 1.2, January 2006

Keypad Layout and Functions

Because BookCourier has so many features, each key has two or three functions. Wherever possible, we’ve tried to group these functions in an intuitive manner so that it’s easy to remember which features share a key. To use a key’s main function, you simply press and release the key. To use a key’s secondary function, you press and hold the key until you hear a beep and then you release it. BookCourier also has a shift key that you can press at the same time as another key to access a third function for that key. The shift key, also called the plus key, is the middle key in the bottom row. Like the 5 key, the shift key has a concave surface to help you locate it easily. The following table shows all the functions for every key on the keypad.

BookCourier Functions by Subject Area

This section groups all the BookCourier functions by subject area so you can quickly find the keys to perform a certain type of function. The subject areas are listed alphabetically with the exception of the General or miscellaneous functions which appear first. To help you find the functions more easily, we've listed some functions in more than one subject area. Remember that each key has up to three different functions: the main function, the secondary function which you activate by pressing and holding the key until you hear a beep, and the third function which you activate by simultaneously pressing the key and the Shift key (the middle key in the bottom row).
