Entering text and numbers on your phone
You can enter text and numbers on your phone using the keypad. Your phone supports three input
modes for entering text and numbers:
Multipress , T9 , and Numeric . The Multipress and T9 modes are
used for entering text, and the Numeric mode is used for entering numbers. When you select a field that
requires text or numeric entry, the phone will automatically default to the appropriate input mode. The
status indicator on the title bar shows the input mode you are currently using.
4 To switch input modes
§
Press and hold the Asterisk (*) key until the status indicator for the input mode you want is
displayed in the title bar.
The following table shows the complete list of input mode status indicators.

Entering text in Multipress mode
When you are in Multipress mode, you can enter a letter by pressing the number key on which the letter
appears. To enter the first letter on the number key, press the key once, to enter the second letter, press
the key twice, and so on. The letter entered most recently is underlined until you have completed the
keypresses for the letter and moved on to the next letter.
For example:
§
To enter the letter “s,” press 7777.
§
To enter the word “hat,” press 44, 2, 8.
When you enter letters that are on the same number key, you must pause after entering the first letter
and wait until the underline disappears before entering the next letter so your phone can process the first
letter. This pause is called the Multipress time out, and you can adjust the length of the pause between
keypresses.
For example:
§
To enter the word “cat,” press 222, pause, press 2, and then press 8.
4 To change the Multipress time out
