Input modes and indicators
Your Toshiba phone has text input modes for text,
number and symbol entry.
The input mode will be automatically updated
depending on the type of text normally entered in
a particular field. For example, for fields that
usually contain phone numbers, Numeric/Symbol
mode will be automatically activated.
An indicator showing the present mode is
displayed towards the top right corner of the
screen. The input mode indicators are as follows:
• - Text mode, lower case.
• - Text mode, initial letter upper case,
subsequent letters lower case.
• - Text mode, upper case.
• - Numeric/Symbol mode, to input a single
numeric or symbol character.
• - Numeric/Symbol mode, to input multiple
numeric or symbol characters.
You can change the input mode by pressing the
Function key. To change the sub-mode, press
the Caps Shift key.
Text mode
When using text mode, you can enter characters
that are displayed on the bottom part of keys on
the keypad.
To enter a symbol when in this mode, press the
Symbol key, then select the required symbol.
To enter an upper case character without having
to change the sub-mode, hold down the Caps
Shift key while pressing the key for the required
character. For example, to enter C when in lower
case text mode, hold down the Caps Shift key
and press the 8/C key.
To enter a character that is displayed on the top
part of a key without having to change the input
mode, hold down the Function key while
pressing the key for the required character. For
example, to enter + when in text mode, hold down
the Function key and press the +/Q key.
