Section 6: Entering Text
This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode
when entering characters into your phone. This section also
describes how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to
reduce the amount of key strokes associated with entering text.
Text Input Modes
The Text Input option switches the key entry functions from an T9
Alphabet, ABC (Alphabet), Numeric Mode, and Symbols Mode.
T9 Input Method (T9 abc, T9 Abc, and T9 ABC)
This input method allows you to enter words with only one
keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one
letter; for example, pressing the
key can enter J, K, or L.
However, the T9 method automatically compares the series of
keystrokes you make with an internal linguistic dictionary to
determine the most likely word, thus requiring far fewer
keystrokes than the traditional Alphabet mode. The T9 abc
method makes all characters lowercase. The T9 Abc method
makes the initial character an uppercase while the remaining
characters are left as lowercase. The T9 ABC method makes all
characters uppercase.
ᮣ To select the T9 Input method, select Menu ➔ Messaging ➔
Create New Message ➔ Options ➔ Input Method.
ABC (Alphabet) Input Method (Abc, abc, and ABC)
This input method allows you to enter letters by pressing the key
labeled with the letter you want. Press the key once, twice, three,
or four times until the correct letter displays. The Abc mode
makes only the initial character of the word uppercase. The abc
method makes all characters of the word lowercase. The ABC
method makes all characters of the word uppercase.
ᮣ To select the Alphabetic method, select Menu ➔ Messaging ➔
Create New Message ➔ Options ➔ Input Method.
Numeric
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
ᮣ To select the Numeric Input method, select Menu ➔ Messaging
➔ Create New Message and press the key until the
numeric input ( ) displays on the top line of the message
input screen.
