Selecting the Text Entry Mode
Text entry modes make it easy for you to enter names,
numbers, and messages.
In the text entry screen, select the
Menu button > Entry
Mode , and then select one of the following modes:
• Primary — for entering alphanumeric characters
• Numeric — for entering numbers only
• Symbol — for entering symbols only
• Secondary — for entering alphanumeric characters. (This
mode is optional and you have to add it to the list.)
In the text entry screen, you can also press repeatedly to
change to Primary, Numeric, Symbol, or Secondary (if you
have set it up).
Adding Secondary to the List of Text Entry Modes
Secondary is convenient when you use one language, and
sometimes wish to switch to another one.
This mode appears in the list only if you set it up first via
the
Menu button > Entry Setup .
None is the default programming from factory and indicates
no secondary entry mode is selected.
Selecting the Text Entry Method and Language
There are two text entry methods:
• TAP — Enter letters, numbers and symbols by pressing an
alphanumeric key one or more times.
• iTAP — Let the terminal predict each word as you press
an alphanumeric key.
You can use these methods in the languages programmed in
the terminal.
