Entering Text
When using your phone, you will often need to
enter text. For example, when storing a name in the
Phonebook, creating your personal greeting or
scheduling events in your calendar. You can enter
alphanumeric characters by using your phone’s
keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes.
• 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 – when you press the
key once, J, K or L displays. 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 upper/lower-case character
modes.
•Upper/lower-case character modes
These modes allow you to enter letters by
pressing the key labelled with the required letter
once, twice, three or four times until the letter
displays.
• Symbol mode
This mode allows you to enter various symbols
and special characters.
•Number mode
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
