Entering Punctuation and Symbols
There are two methods of entering punctuation: Smart Punctuation and
Symbols Mode.
Smart Punctuation
T9 Text Input uses Smart Punctuation to quickly apply basic rules of
grammar to insert the correct punctuation within a word and at the end
of a sentence. To insert punctuation, press
1 . If the punctuation
mark displayed is not the one you want, press 0 until you see the
desired punctuation mark. Then press to accept the
punctuation and continue typing.
There are eight symbols available using Smart Punctuation (including . ,
- ’ @ : ? ; ). For additional symbols, see Symbols Mode (SYM) below.
Symbols Mode (SYM)
You can also enter punctuation and additional symbols using Symbols
Mode (SYM). There are four screen pages within symbols mode,
offering 32 different symbols.
1 From any screen that displays one of the four text entry modes
(word, alpha, SYM, NUM), press the right
P until “SYM” dis-
plays and the first page of symbols appears.
2 To select a symbol, press the number that corresponds with the
symbol you want to enter. If the symbol you want to enter is not
displayed, proceed to step 3.
3 Press P under “More”. The SYM2 screen displays. Repeat to
access additional symbol pages SYM3 and SYM4. To select the
desired punctuation, press the number that corresponds with the
symbol you want to enter.
