Using T9 Mode

T9 is a predictive text input mode that allows you to key in any character using
single keystrokes. This text input mode is based on a built-in dictionary.

To enter a word in T9 mode:

1.

When you are in T9 mode, start entering a word by pressing the 2 to 9

keys. Press each key only once for each letter.

Example: To enter “Hello” in T9 mode, press the 4, 3, 5, 5, and 6 keys.

The word that you are typing appears on the display. It may change with
each consecutive key that you press.

2.

Enter the whole word before editing or deleting the keystrokes.

3.

When the word is correctly displayed, go to step 4.

If the word doesn’t display correctly, press the

key to display

alternative word choices for the keys that you have pressed.

Example: Both the words “Of” and “Me” have the 6 and 3 keys. The phone displays the most commonly

used choice first.

4.

Insert a space by pressing the

key and start entering the next word.

To add a new word into the T9 dictionary:

1.

After pressing the keys corresponding to the word you want to add, press

the

key to display the alternative words.

2.

When you press the

key after the last alternative word, the display

shows Spell on the bottom right line. Press the Spell soft key or the

key.
