Entering Characters Using T9 Text Input
T9 Text Input lets you enter text in your PCS Phone by pressing
keys just once per letter. (To select the T9 Word mode when
entering text, see "Selecting a Character Input Mode" on
page 25.)
T9 Text Input analyzes the letters you enter using an intuitive
word database and creates a suitable word. (The word may
change as you type.) If the word you want does not display after
you have entered all the letters, press
to scroll through
additional word selections. To accept a word and insert a space,
press
.
If you make a mistake, press to erase a single character.
Press and hold to delete an entire entry.
Adding a Word to the T9 Database
If a word you want to enter does not display as an option when
you are using T9 Text Input, you can add it to the database.
To add a word to the T9 Text Input database:
1. Select the Abc character input mode. (See “Selecting a
Character Input Mode” on page 25.)
2. Enter the word using multi-tap text entry. (See “Entering
Characters by Tapping the Keypad” on page 27.) The word
will appear as an option the next time you scroll through
options during T9 Text Input.
