Create a word using T9
The display changes as you proceed.
Therefore, it is best if you finish a word
without looking at the display.
Simply press the keys once only where the
relevant letter is located. For "hotel", for
example:
Press briefly for
T9Abc then
4 6 8 3 5
and
1
(the blank ends a word).
Do not use special characters such as Ä
but rather use the standard characters,
e.g. A; T9 will do the rest for you.

T9 word suggestions
If several options are found in the diction-
ary for a key sequence (a word), the most
probable is displayed first. The word must
be §highlighted§ . Then press
»
. The dis-
played word is replaced with a different
word. If this word is also incorrect, repeat
until the correct word is displayed.
To add a word to the dictionary, select
§Spell§ . Now write the word without
T9-support and accept with §Save§ into the
dictionary.
