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, you can add it to the database.

To add a word to the T9 Text Input database:

1.

Select the Abc character input mode. (See “Selecting a
Character Input Mode”on page 33.)

2.

Enter the word using multi-tap text entry. (See “Entering
Characters by Tapping the Keypad”.) The word will
appear as an option the next time you scroll through
options during T9 Text Input.

For more information about T9 Text Input, visit the Tegic Web
site at

Entering Characters by Tapping the Keypad

To enter characters by tapping the keypad:

1.

Select the Abc Mode. (See “Selecting a Character Input
Mode”on page 33.)

2.

Press the corresponding keys repeatedly until the desired
letter appears. (For example, to enter the word “Bill,”
press twice, three

times, three

times,

and

three times again.) (If you make a mistake, press

to erase a single character. Press and hold

By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the
following letters are lowercased. After a character is entered,
the cursor automatically advances to the next space after two
seconds or when you enter a character on a different key.
