Changing the Text Input Mode
When using your phone, you often need to enter text, such as when storing a name in your Phonebook, 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 Abc: 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, you press
to enter J, or K. 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 fewer keystrokes than the
traditional ABC mode.
•
Numeric: this mode allows you to enter numbers. (Numeric displays on the external screen only).
•
Symbol: this mode allows you to enter symbols, such as punctuation marks.
Note: When you are in a field where you can enter characters, the text input mode indicator displays at the bottom right of the screen.
