Using T9 Mode
T9 is a predictive text input mode that allows you to
key in any character using single keystrokes. This
text input mode is based on a built-in dictionary.
To enter a word in T9 mode:
1. When you are in T9 mode, start entering a word
by pressing the keys 2 to 9. Press each key only
once for each letter.
Example: To enter “HELLO” in T9 mode,
press the 4, 3, 5, 5 and 6 keys.
The word that you are typing appears on the
display. It may change with each key that you
press.
2. Enter the whole word before editing or deleting
the keystrokes.
3. When the word displays correctly, go to step 4.
If not, press the 0 key or the Up or Down key
repeatedly to display alternative word choices
for the keys that you have pressed.
Example: Both “OF” and “ME” use the 6 and 3
keys. The phone displays the most
commonly used choice first.
4. Insert a space between words by pressing the
key.
