|GENERAL FUNCTIONS
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. To
change
to 123 mode in a text
entry
field,
press
#
key
until 123 mode is
displayed.
Symbolic
Mode
This mode allows
you
to enter
special
characters.
Changing
the Text
Input
Mode
1. When
you
are in a field that allows characters
to be
entered,
you
will notice the text
input
mode
indicator in the
upper right
corner of the
display.
2. If
you
want to
change
modes,
press
#.
The available modes are
changed.
Using
the T9 Mode
The T9
predictive
text
input
mode allows
you
to enter
words
easily
with a minimum number of
key presses.
As
you press
each
key,
the
phone begins
to
display
the characters that it thinks
you
are
typing
based on
a built-in
dictionary.
As new letters are
added,
the
word
changes
to reflect the most
likely
candidate
from the
dictionary.

You can select a different T9
language
from the menu

* key.
The default
setting
on
the
phone
is T9 enabled.
