Input Mode
On many occasions you need to enter text while using the
mobile phone, (i.e., storing a name in the Contacts, writing a
new message, creating greeting or scheduling
events on your calendar).
The following text input modes are available:
T9 mode
You can enter a letter with only one keystroke. The keypad
has more than one letter on it – when you press the [
]
key once, J, K, L or 5 may be displayed.
The T9 mode automatically compares your keystrokes with
an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the correct word,
thus requiring fewer keystrokes than the conventional
multi-tap mode.
Abc mode
In this mode, you can enter the letter you want by
pressing the keypad once, twice, three or four times
until the target letter appears.
Numeric mode
Use this mode to enter numbers.
Symbol mode
Use this mode to enter special characters like Greek letters,
currency units, or a period mark.
Emoticon mode
Use this mode to enter the emoticons.
www mode
Use this mode to enter prefixes and suffixes of network
addresses (www).
Inserting a Space
To insert a space between words, press the [ ] key.
Clearing Letters and Words
To clear the letter to the left of the cursor, press the [ ]
key.
You can clear all letters on the display by pressing and
holding the [
] key.
Returning to the Previous Screen
When the text input field is empty, press the [ ] key to
return to the previous screen.
Using the T9 Mode
In the T9 alphabet editor, the word is composed completely
as you enter the text.
1 Press the keys numbered [ ] to [ ] to enter text.
For example, press [ ][ ][ ][ ][ ] in sequence
to enter ‘hello’.
The word you are typing appears on the display. It may change
with each key you press.
2 If you cannot find a word, press the [ ] key to search.
