Quick English Mode
This mode allows you to enter English words with only
one keypress per letter. Each key on a keypad has
more than one letter - a single press on the 5 key
could be J, K, or L. The Quick English mode
automatically compares your key presses to an internal
Quick English linguistic database to determine the
correct word.
The mode requires far fewer keystrokes than the
traditional multi-tap method; English mode.
Typing English Words
To type a word, press keys corresponding to the letters
you need. Remember the following as you are typing:
1. Press keys on the handset just once per desired
letter. For example, to enter ‘HELLO’, press ,
, , , .
2. The word you are typing appears in the display. It
may change with each key you press.
3. Type to the end of the word before editing or
deleting any keystrokes.
4. Complete each word with a space by pressing the
key.
If the word that appears in the display is not the word
that you desire, press the 0 key one or more times to
display alternate word choices for the keys you have
typed. (For example, ‘OF’ and ‘ME’ both shares the
sequence 6, 3. The phone displays the most commonly
used choice first.)
To type words not found in the phone database,
change the text input mode to English mode.
Smart Punctuations
Period, hyphen, and apostrophe are available on
the 1 key. T9 applies rules of grammar to insert the
correct punctuation. Notice that the 1 key is used
twice in this example to display two punctuation
marks:
L E T ‘ S E A T .
Upper Case Letters
There are two shift states: Lower Case ( ) and Caps
Lock( ). Press the key one or more times to
display the appropriate shift indicator, and begin typing
normally.

message, press the or key.
