Entering Text
This section describes how to enter and edit text.
There are four types of text entry:
•
Multitap Text (ABC) Input: Where you press each key as many times as needed to display the character you want.
•
T9® Text Input: Where intuitive texting predicts the word you are trying to enter.
•
Numeric Input: Where you enter numbers.
•
Symbol Input: Where you enter symbols, Greek characters, or characters with accents.
T9® Text Input is covered by the United Kingdom Pat. No. 2238414B, Euro. Pat. No. 0 842 463 (96927260.8) and other
patents pending.
The maximum number of characters allowed in an item or a field is defined as the number of single-byte characters that
can be input. When entering double byte characters such as accents (ë, î, ô, etc.) or triple byte characters such as the
Euro symbol (€), the maximum number of characters varies accordingly.
Here are some examples of text entry methods.
