4 Text entry
You can use two methods for entering text and numbers:
• Standard mode is the only way to enter text into such things as the contacts
list, calendar notes, and to rename caller groups.
• Predictive text input is a quick and easy method for writing messages, creating
a calendar note, or making a to-do list.
• STANDARD MODE
Text (Abc)
• Press a key once to insert the first letter on the key, twice for the second letter,
etc. If you pause briefly, the last letter in the display is accepted and your
phone awaits the next entry.
•Press the 0 key to enter a space thereby accepting a completed word
•Press the 1 key to enter a period (.)
•Press the * key to display special characters. See more about special characters
on the following pages
Numbers (123)
To switch to 123 mode from Abc mode, press and hold the # key at any message
entry screen until the icon in the upper left corner of the display switches from Abc
to 123 (or vice versa).
•Press Clear to backspace the cursor and delete a character
•Press and hold Clear to backspace continuously and delete characters
Punctuation and special characters
While at any text entry screen, press the * key to display special characters (press and
hold the * key if predictive text is on). You can navigate through the list of special
characters by using the four-way scroll key. Once a character is highlighted, press
Insert to insert the character into your message.
• PREDICTIVE TEXT INPUT
Predictive text input allows you to write messages quickly using your keypad and
the phone’s built-in dictionary. It is much faster the standard mode method,
because for each letter, you only press the corresponding key on your keypad once.
