Section 6: 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 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.
