Using T9 Mode
T9 is a predictive text input mode that allows you to
key in any character using single keystrokes. This
text input mode is based on a built-in dictionary.
To enter a word in T9 mode:
1. When you are in T9 mode, start entering a word
by pressing the 2 to 9 keys. Press each key only
once for each letter.
Example: To enter “HELLO” in T9 mode,
press the 4, 3, 5, 5 and 6 keys.
The word that you are typing appears on the
display. It may change with each key that you
press.
2. Enter the whole word before editing or deleting
the keystrokes.
3. When the word displays correctly, go to step 4.
If not, press the 0, Up or Down key repeatedly
to display alternative word choices for the keys
that you have pressed.
Example: Both “OF” and “ME” have the
sequence 6 and 3. The phone displays
the most commonly used choice first.
4. Put a space by pressing the key and start
entering the next word.
To add a new word into the T9 dictionary:
1. After pressing the keys corresponding to the
word you want to add, press the 0 or Down key
to display the alternative words.

2. When you press the 0 or Down key at the last
alternative word, the display shows Add on the
bottom line. Press the Add soft key.
3. If necessary, clear the word using the C key and
enter the word you want to add using Alphabet
mode. See page 46.
4. Press the OK soft key.
The word is added to the T9 dictionary and
becomes the first word for the associated
keypress.
• To enter full stops, hyphens or apostrophes, press
the 1 key. T9 mode applies grammar rules to
ensure that the correct punctuation is used.
Example: The 1 key is used twice to display two
punctuation marks:
• To shift the case in T9 mode, use the key.
There are three cases; Lower case ( ), Initial
Capital ( ) and Capital lock ( ).
• You can move the cursor by using the Left and
Right keys. To delete letters, press the key.
Press and hold the key to clear the display.
