This is a detailed guide for inputting letters and symbols.

Recently, we found that some users had difficulties in inputting symbols when they need to input a cloud server address. Therefore, in order to help every user understand how to input characters on Anviz devices we’re here to help.

Let’s start!

Anviz has 2 types of devices that may need to input characters.

Keypad and screen : EP30, W1, W2, VF30, EP300, etc.  
Touch sreen : FaceDeep Series, FacePass 7 Series.

Type 1: Keypad and screen  
The keypads of the different devices may have a little difference, but all the functions of a keypad are in common. There are number/letter key, in/out key, arrow key, menu/back key, FN key, delete key and enter key.

Example:

Steps:  
1)Using the enter key to move the cursor to the field.  
2)If you need to input something other than numbers…?  
Press [FN]key on the keypad, a character input window “Aa” will be displayed on the bottom of the screen.

3)Press the number/letter key and a second window will appear and you can select the letter by number key.

4)How to switch the input method to input the letter, number or special symbols?  
Press [IN]/[OUT] key on the keypad, the character input window will be toggled between “Aa”, ”123”, ”,.!?” and ”拼”.

6)Tips:  
The characters you input in the Input window won’t be changed if the input method is toggled.

Type 2: Touch Screen  
The usage is very similar to that of a smartphone. You can directly see number, letter, pin, symbols, etc. You can touch and choose what you need.
