Menu and Options

Your phone offers a set of functions that allow you to customize it. These functions are

arranged in menus and sub-menus, accessed via the left and right soft keys.

The label on the bottom of the display screen immediately above the soft keys indicates their

current function.

Entering Text

You can enter alphanumeric characters by using the phone’s keypad. To change modes, press

the key.

T9 Mode

This mode allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. Each key on the

keypad has more than one letter. The T9 mode automatically compares your keystrokes with

an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the correct word, thus requiring far fewer

keystrokes than the traditional ABC mode.

ABC Mode

This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the key labeled with the required letter once,

twice, three or four times until the letter is displayed.

123 Mode (Numbers Mode)

Type numbers using one keystroke per number.

Symbol Mode

This mode allows you to enter special characters by pressing key.
