Entering Characters by Tapping the Keypad

To enter characters by tapping the keypad:

1.

Select the

Alpha

mode. (See “Selecting a Character

Input Mode” on page 37.)

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

to delete an entire entry

.)

By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the
following letters are lower cased. 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.

Characters scroll in the following order:
