to erase a single character. Press and hold

all the letters, press to scroll through additional word
selections. To accept a word and insert a space, press .
Adding a Word to the T9 Database
If a word you want to enter is not displayed as an option when
you are using T9 Text Input, add it to the database.

Input Mode”on page 37.)
