    Abstract: PURPOSE:To provide an electronic apparatus capable of simply inputting alphabets or the like without preparing keys corresponding to the alphabets or the like and requiring an independent correspondence table or the like. CONSTITUTION:Numerical keys 14 are arranged on the operation panel face of a portable type still image transmitting equipment. Alphabets are allocated to the numerical keys '1' to '9' in addition to numerals. In a character input mode, an input character can be selected by the number of times of continuous depression of each key and the capitals or small letters of alphabets can be inputted by means of the keys '1' to '9' in addition to the input of numerals. Plural codes are allocated to keys '*', '#'. In the character input mode, an input code can be selected by the number of times of continuous depression of the key '*' or '#' and plural codes can be inputted by means of the keys '*', '#'. Thus numerals, alphabets and codes can simply be inputted only by the twelve keys, i.e., ten keys '1' to '9' and the code keys '*', '#' without requiring an independent correspondence table.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To use the same software (ROM) even when a displayed character is made different from a destination. CONSTITUTION:An internal modem 111 is provided with a destination setting switch and the setting is implemented, e.g. at the manufacture. At application of power, a CPU 101 sets automatically a display character to a display device 12, an output level to a telephone line 5 and a standard or the like for dialing in response to the destination designation switch. The setting is implemented by providing a flag in a work RAM 104. In the case of a display of the display device 12, the CPU 101 controls the display device 12 in response to the state of the flag in the work RAM 104 to execute a display in response to the destination. In the case of dialing and an output to a telephone line 5, an internal modem 111 is controlled similarly in response to the destination. Even when the display character is made different depending on the destination, the same ROM is used, the management of the ROM is simplified and the manufacture process is made in common.
