32 - Learning to Use Your Phone
Note: This chart may not reflect the exact character set available
on your phone. If you use the Tap English entry method, keys 2
through 9 only display the basic characters. In an email
address or URL editor, 1 shows the common characters for
that editor first.
Tap Method Text Entry Rules
• Press a number key repeatedly to cycle through its characters.
See the chart on page 31.
• If you do not press a key for 2 seconds, the character in the
block cursor is accepted, and the cursor moves to the next
position.
• Press
S
left or right to move the flashing cursor to the left or
right in a text message.
• The first character of every sentence is capitalised. Press
S
down to force the character to lowercase while it is highlighted
by the block cursor.
• Your phone may support multiple languages. The current
language setting determines whether a new message begins
on the left or right side of the display.
• If you enter or edit information and do not want to save the
changes, press O to exit without saving.
Using the iTAP™ Method
iTAP™ software provides a predictive text entry method that lets
you enter a word using one key press per letter. This can be faster
than the Tap Method , because your phone combines the key presses
into common words.
