Entering Text in T9 Word Mode
T9 Word recognizes commonly used words for a sequence of keypresses and inserts the
word into your message. Using T9 mode is much faster than the more traditional method
Alpha mode, since T9 requires only one key press per letter of the word that you are
spelling.
Note: See ‘Changing the Text Entry Mode” on page 48 for instructions on changing text entry modes.
1. While in T9 Word mode, press each key that corresponds to a desired letter, in
sequence, one time.
For example, if you press the key sequence , and the word “bad”
appears on the screen.
2. When you have completed pressing all the keys for the desired word, review the word
displayed in your text.
3. If the word is not the one you meant to enter, press the key to show the next
word that matches the sequence of keys that you pressed.
For example, when you press the key sequence , the word “and”
appears on the screen. Suppose the word you want is “cod”. Just press the key
until “cod” appears in the display.
Note: If more than one word shares the same numeric sequence (such as, “263” for both “and” and “cod”), T9 Word
provides the most commonly used word (such as, “and” for “263”). Press the
key to display other words, if any
are available.
For practice, enter the work ‘Samsung’ into your message by pressing each of the
following keys only once:
T9 Word recognizes that the most commonly used word for the sequence of keys you
just pressed is “Samsung.”
Tip: To enter words not likely to be in the T9 Word dictionary, such as uncommon abbreviations or slang, you might want
to change the text entry mode from T9 Word to Abc or ABC.
