Entering Characters by Tapping the Keypad
To enter characters by tapping the keypad:
1. Select the Alpha mode (See “Selecting a Character Input
Mode” on page 40.)
2. Press the corresponding keys repeatedly until the
desired letter appears (for example, to enter the word
“Bill,” press twice, three times, three
times, press to advance the cursor or wait for it to
advance automatically, then press three times
again). (If you make a mistake, press to erase a
single character. Press and hold to erase all text.)
By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the
following letters are lowercase. 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.
Characters scroll in the following order:
