Signal strength
You can check the strength of your signal by the sig-
nal indicator ( ) on the LCD screen of your phone.
Signal strength can vary, particularly inside buildings.
Moving near to a window may improve reception.
Entering text
You can enter alphanumeric characters by using the
phone’s keypad. For example, storing names in the
Contacts
, writing a message, creating a personal
greeting or scheduling events in the calendar all
require entering text.
The following text input methods are available in the
phone.
T9 mode
This mode lets you enter words with only one key-
stroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more
than one letter. The T9 mode automatically com-
pares your keystrokes with an internal dictionary
to determine the correct word, thus requiring far
fewer keystrokes than the traditional ABC mode.
This is sometimes known as predictive text.
ABC mode
This mode lets you enter letters by pressing the
key labelled with the required letter once, twice,
three or four times until the letter is displayed.
123 mode (Number mode)
Type numbers using one keystroke per number. To
change to 123 mode in a text entry field, press
the key until 123 mode is displayed.
