Section 5: Entering Text
This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode
when entering characters into your phone. This section also
describes how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to
reduce the amount of key strokes associated with entering text.
Changing the Text Input Mode
The Text Input option allows you to change the text entry
functions from T9 Mode to ABC Mode, Numeric Mode, or
Symbols Mode.
Press and hold the key to toggle between the T9 Mode and
the ABC Mode.
Short press the key while in either the T9 Mode or the ABC
Mode to toggle from All Caps to Initial Caps, to Lower Case, or to
Numeric entries.
Press and hold the key to go into Symbols Mode. To exit
Symbols Mode, press either the Cancel soft key, the OK soft key
or the
key.
T9 Mode
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, pressing the 5 key 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 Alphabet
mode.
ABC Mode
This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the key
labeled with the letter or number you want. Press the key
once, twice, three, or four times until it displays.
Numeric Mode
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
Symbols Mode
This mode allows you to enter symbols, such as
punctuation marks.
