Entering Text
When using your phone, you will need to enter text
at many times. For example, when storing a name in
the Phone Book, creating your personal greeting or
scheduling events in your calendar. You can enter
alphanumeric characters into your phone by using
your phone’s keypad.
You are provided with the following text input
modes;
•
T9(English)
: This mode allows you to enter
English words with only one
keypress per letter. Each key on a
keypad has more than one letter - a
single press on
could be J,K
or L. The T9(English) mode
automatically compares your key
presses to an internal linguistic
database to determine the correct
word. The T9(English) mode requires
far fewer keystrokes than the
traditional multi-tap method, Alpha
mode.
•
Alpha
: This mode allows you to enter letters by
pressing the key labeled with the desired
letter once, twice, or three times until the
letter appears on the display.
• Symbol
: This mode allows you to enter special
characters.
• Number
: This mode allows you to enter numbers.
Changing Text Input Mode
When you are in a field that allows characters entry,
you should notice the text input mode indicator in the
lower right corner of the display.
You can change between
T9(English)
and
Alpha
mode to enter words. To include a symbol or
number(s) between characters,
Symbol
and
Number
modes are also available. To change to
another text input mode;
1. Press

2. Scroll to the desired mode by pressing or
