The Basics
Entering Characters Using Alphabet Mode
To enter characters by using Alphabet mode (multi-tap entry):
1. Select the Alphabet mode (see “ Selecting a Character
Input Mode” on page 29).
2. Press the corresponding keys repeatedly until the desired
letter appears. (For example, to enter the word “ Bill,”
press twice, three times, three times,
and three times again.) (If you make a mistake,
press to erase a single character. Press and hold
to delete an entire entry.)
By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the
following letters are lowercase. After a character is entered,
the cursor automatically advances to the next space after two
seconds or when you enter a character on a different key.
Characters scroll in the following order:
. , @ 1 ? ! * # /
A B C 2
D E F 3
G H I 4
J K L 5
M N O 6
P Q R S 7
T U V 8
