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 type displays on the screen. 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 correctly displays, go to step 4.
If the word does not display correctly, press the key
to display the Spell soft key and follow the “To add a new
word into the T9 dictionary” procedure that follows.
4. Press to insert a space and start entering the next
word.
To add a new word into the T9 dictionary:
1. Press the key to display the Spell soft key. Next,
enter the new word and press OK to add the word to the
dictionary.
2. Enter the word you want to add using ABC mode. For more
information, refer to “Changing the Text Input Mode” on
page 23.
3. Press the OK soft key or after you finish entering the
new word.
The word is added to the T9 dictionary and becomes a
word for the associated keypress series.
Note: This feature may not be available for some languages. The 1 key
has some emoticons associated with it. To enter other special
characters within the T9 mode, press and hold
to cycle
through these characters.
