Using T9 Mode
T9 is a predictive text input mode that allows you to enter any

Entering a word in T9 mode
1. When you are in T9 mode (T9 Eng), start entering a word by
pressing the 2 to 9 keys. Press each key only once for each
letter.
Note: Pressing the 1 key enters additional characters.
Example: To enter “Hello” in T9 mode, press the 4, 3, 5, 5, and 6 keys.
The word that you type displays on the screen and may
change with each consecutive key press due to the
internal linguistic dictionary.

keystrokes.
3. When the word correctly displays, go to step 4.
If the word doesn’t display correctly, press to
display alternative letter choices for the current key you
pressed.
Example: Both the words “Of” and “Me” use the 6 and 3 keys. The phone

a space, and start entering the next word.
