Create a word using T9
Since the display changes as you
type
it is best if you finish a word without
looking at the display.
You simply press the keys where
the relevant letters are located
once
only. For “hotel” for example type:

T9 converts accented characters
(such as ä and à) for you. Simply
compose the message using the
standard character (e.g.

If the word that T9 has chosen is not
the one yo want see “T9 word
suggestions” on page 46.
