Entering Text
At many times when using your phone, you will need
to enter text; for example, w hen storing a name in the
phonebook, creating your personal greeting or
scheduling events in your calendar. You can enter
alphanumeric characters into your phone by using your
phone’s keypad.
You are provided w ith the following text input modes:
• T9(English): This mode allows you to enter w ords
with only one key press per letter. Each key on a
keypad has more than one letter - a single press on
could be J,K or L. The T9 mode automatically
compares your key presses to an internal linguistic

pressing the key labeled w ith the desired letter
once, tw ice, or three times until the letter appears
on the display.

database as your language setting menu
