Using the Dialpad to Enter Characters
Use the dialpad keys 0 through 9, * and # to enter characters in a text entry field/line. When
entering a name or other alphabetic text, the first dialpad key press displays the first alphabetic
character associated with that key. The character appears to the right of the current cursor
position. This character is shown in the same case as the
alpha softkey. The cursor does not
move. A subsequent press of the same key replaces the character shown with the next
alphabetic character assigned to that key. You can use the # and * keys to display those
symbols, even in alpha and ALPHA mode.
For example, when the Mode softkey displays “ALPHA” or “alpha,” pressing “ 2 ” produces the
letter “A” or “a,” depending on which alphabetic mode is active. Quickly pressing 2 again
replaces the A with a “B” or “b”. Pressing the same key again replaces the B with a “C” or “c”.
Pressing the same key again replaces the C with an “A” (or “a”), and so on. Pressing a different
key moves the cursor one position to the right and displays the first alphabetic character
associated with that key. Repeat this key press/entry process to complete the text field. You can
also use the
Bksp or Space softkeys to delete the character to the left of the cursor, or to insert
a space, respectively.
When the Mode softkey displays Num , the telephone recognizes a key press as a number or a
typographic character like * or #. The cursor then advances one position to the right.
When the Mode softkey displays Symbol , use the Line/Feature buttons to select the desired
symbol. Use the More softkey to access additional pages of symbols, or the Page Right or
Page Left buttons on the telephone. When you select a symbol, the telephone automatically
inserts it to the right of the last character in that field. After insertion, the telephone automatically
returns to the
alpha mode.
Change the case of
an alphabetic
character to/from
lowercase, the
default, to
uppercase
Press the Mode softkey until that softkey displays ALPHA
(uppercase) or alpha (lowercase), as appropriate. Then use
the dialpad to select the characters you want to appear in that
case.
Mode alpha displays all characters entered in lowercase, and
is the default mode. Mode ALPHA displays characters in
uppercase. Pressing the softkey “toggles” from one mode to
the next.
Enter a numeric
character(s)
Press the Mode softkey until that softkey displays Num , then
use the dialpad to select the appropriate number(s).
Place a symbol in
the text entry field
Press the Mode softkey until that softkey displays Symbol . If
the desired symbol is not shown, press the More softkey to
view additional symbols. To insert a symbol, press the Line/
Feature button to the right/left of the desired symbol as
appropriate.
