Using the Options Menu 52
iTAP Software—Locking a Word
You lock a word to give yourself a better selection of text options
or to stop the dynamic dictionary from changing the core text
you are using. The core text can change if you create a word that
is not in the dynamic dictionary.
You can lock a word in two ways:
• Use < or > to highlight an alternative text option (even
if you then return to the original text option). The highlighted
text then forms the basis for all subsequent text options.
• Use
C
to return to the core text you require. For example
you add p to Scri but iTAP software changes the text option
to Paris . If you press
C
and highlight Pari , Pari is then
locked.
iTAP Software—Punctuation and Upper Case Characters
When you select a word to go into the main display area, iTAP™
software automatically inserts a space. However, iTAP™ software
does not necessarily add a space if you insert a punctuation
character, for example, a period.
Press 1 to add a punctuation character or symbol.
iTAP Software automatically adds an upper case character at the
beginning of a message, at the beginning of a sentence, and at
the beginning of each word in the phone book.
To insert upper case characters at any other time, press and hold
the appropriate key (
2
to
9
).
iTAP Software—Adding Numeric Characters
When you press a key, the numeric character assigned to the key
appears as one of the alternative text options. Once you highlight
a numeric character, all subsequent characters are numeric until
you press
O
.
iTAP Software—Correcting Text
In iTAP Software Mode, you can correct the text in the main
display area. You can delete one character at a time or one word
at a time.
To move the cursor ( Ö ), press < or > .
To delete the character before the cursor, press
C
. You can
then insert any new characters you require.
To delete the word before the cursor, press and hold
C
. If you
continue to press C , you delete the next word, and so on,
until you delete all the words.
iTAP Software—The Dynamic Dictionary
The dynamic dictionary learns the most recent and the most
frequent words that you use. This includes names and acronyms.
If there are words that you do not use frequently, then the
dynamic dictionary deletes these first to make room for new
words or words that are more frequently used.
The language you specify for the phone determines the dynamic
dictionary that it uses (if there is one is available). See “Language
Selection.”
How to Enter Text in Tap Mode
In Tap Mode, each key has a number of different characters
assigned to it. See “Table of Characters” on page 50. When you
press the same key several times, you scroll through the assigned
characters.
For example, press
5
to display the J or j character. If you
press the key again, you display the K or k character, and so on.
To enter the next character, press the next key that has the
character you require. If the next character is on the same key,
you must first press
>
.
