Changing the Text Input Mode
When using your phone, you often need to enter text, such as when storing a name in your Contacts List, creating your
personal greeting, or scheduling events on your calendar. You can enter alphanumeric characters by using your
phone’s keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
•
ABC: This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the key labeled with the corresponding letter.
•
T9: This mode allows you to enter words with only one keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one letter; for
example, touching
can enter J, K, or L. However, the T9
®
mode automatically compares the series of keystrokes you
make with an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the most likely word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional
ABC mode.
•
Numeric: This mode allows you to enter numbers.
•
Symbols: This mode allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation marks.
Note: When you are in a field that allows character entry, the text input mode indicator displays on the lower portion of the screen (second
icon from the left).
