Entering Text Using T9 Text Input (word mode)
To learn how to enter text using T9 Text Input technology, follow the
instructions below:
1 From any screen that displays one of the four
text entry modes (word, alpha, SYM,
NUM), press the right
P until “word”
displays.
2 Type your word by using one key-press per desired letter. The
displayed word may change as you type it. Do not try to correct
the word as you go. Type to the end of the word before editing.
T9 Text Input matches your key strokes to words in its database
and will display the most commonly used matching word.
3 If the word that appears is not the desired word, press 0 to
change the word on the display to the next most likely word in
the database. Repeat until the desired word appears.
NOTE: If the phone is not able to guess the word you are attempt-
ing to spell, press to erase the current word on
your screen. Press the right P until you see “alpha” and
enter the word using the standard multi-tap option (see
“Entering Text Using Alpha Mode & Adding Words to the
User Database” on page 74 ). Do not add a space after your
word. Return to T9 Text Input (word mode) by pressing
P
until “word” displays. Then press to add a
space. The word you just typed is automatically added to
the User Database.
