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 45.)
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.
