ABC Mode
In Abc mode, also known as multi-tap entry, you press keys one, two, three, or four times to
enter the letters you see on the keypad. For example, press once for “a,” twice for “b”, or
three times for “c”; or press once for “p,” twice for “q,” three times for “r,” or four times for
“s.”
1. Select the Abc mode.
2. Press the corresponding keys repeatedly until the correct letter appears. (For example,
to enter the word “Bill,” press
twice, three times, three times, and
three times again.) (If you make a mistake, press to erase a single character.
Press and hold to erase an entire word.)
By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the following letters are lowercased. After
a character is entered, the cursor automatically advances to the next space after two seconds or
when you enter a character on a different key.
