Hi Lou!

No, because there is no specific keys for F and J on the keyboard. That
doesn't mean however that the Rivo is completely free of actile indication
as the 5 key is obviously dented. The method of typing text on it that I
prefer is the telephone style typing, called ABC mode.

Have a read of the attached to get a full list of commands,.

Hope this helps you and others.

Dave

1. Button names and basic notations

Buttons in the leftmost column are L1, L2, L3 and L4.
Buttons in the rightmost column are R1, R2, R3 and R4.
Buttons in the middle three columns are B1 through B9, B star, B0 and B pound just like telephone keypad.
For brevity, pressing a button is denoted by its button name. For example, B1 stands for pressing the button B1.
A sequence of button names denotes successively pressing the buttons in that sequence. For example, B1, B2 stands for pressing B1, followed by pressing B2.
A plus sign between two button names denotes a combination of the two buttons. For example, L1 + B1 stands for holding down L1, and then pressing B1.
When it's not ambiguous, buttons in the middle three columns will drop the leading letter B from their names. For example, 1 stands for pressing B1.

2. Power button and Bluetooth connection
The power button is on the left side. If you hold down the power button for more than 3 seconds, RiVO is turned on or off.
If RiVO is not used for 10 minutes, or if you shortly press the power button on the left side, it enters into a standby state.
In standby state, RiVO disconnects Bluetooth connection, and buttons don't work.
If you want to wake up RiVO, press the power button shortly on the left side.
RiVO requires at least 8 seconds to be able to get reconnected after disconnected, and it requires about two seconds making a reconnection.
