Touch each key only once for each letter.
Example: To enter “Hello” in T9 mode, touch the 4, 3, 5, 5, and 6 keys.
The word that you are typing displays on the screen. It may
change with each consecutive key that you touch.
2. Enter the whole word before editing or deleting the
keystrokes.
3. When the word correctly displays, go to Step 4.
If the word does not display correctly, touch the Next key to
display other word choices from which you can choose. If
these choices do not include the word you want to use,
switch to Abc mode and enter the word you want.
