Using predictive text
Your phone includes an intelligent word predictor that
helps you to write messages more quickly. Using the
predictor means that you do not need to repeatedly press
keys to achieve the required characters of each word.
To switch the predictor ON or OFF:
Within the message editor, either:
•
c to view the message menu, e to choose Change
edit mode
,
c to enter,
or
• Press and hold
# until the
A
icon appears
(predictor ON) or disappears (predictor OFF) at the
foot of the display.
Note: you can switch the predictor on or off at any
stage during the message editing process.
To enter words using the predictor:
Begin entering a word - for each character, press the key
containing that character only once.
As you enter each character, the predictor calculates all of
the words that might be formed using that combination of
key presses. The predictor’s current ‘best guess’ is
displayed in the top left corner of the display and the
number of possible words are shown at the bottom of the
screen.
•
e to scroll through other guesses,
•
c to accept the current guess,
•
a to delete the last typed character.
If a match cannot be found:
If the predictor cannot find a match for the characters that
you have entered, it will display Unknown word. The
entered characters are then shown isolated from the
remaining message and you are prompted to Type new
word
.
