Entering Text
When storing a name in the phonebook, creating your
personal greeting or scheduling events in your
calendar, you will need to enter text.
You are provided with the following text input modes.

This mode allows you to enter words with only one
keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more
than one letter – when you press the key once, J,
K or L may be displayed. The

automatically compares your keystrokes with an
internal linguistic dictionary to determine the correct
word, thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the
traditional
ABC

ABC mode
This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the
key labelled with the required letter once, twice,
three or four times until the letter is displayed.
Number mode
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
Symbolic mode
