Entering Text
When using your phone, you will often need to enter text, such
as when storing a name in Phone Book, 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:
• 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, when you press the 5 key once, J, K or L displays. T9
mode automatically compares your keystrokes with an internal
linguistic dictionary to determine the correct word, thus
requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional Alphabet
mode.
• Alphabet 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.
• Symbol mode
This mode allows you to enter various symbols and special
characters.
• Number mode
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
Changing the Text Input Mode
When you are in a field that allows characters to be entered,
you will notice the text input mode indicator on the display.
