Entering Punctuation and Symbols
There are two methods of entering punctuation: Smart Punctuation and Symbols
Mode.
Smart Punctuation
T9 Text Input uses Smart Punctuation to quickly apply basic rules of grammar
to insert the correct punctuation within a word and at the end of a sentence. To
insert punctuation while in “word” mode, press
1
(the Smart Punctuation
key). If the punctuation mark displayed is not the one you want, press
0
until
you see the desired punctuation mark. Press
to accept the punctuation
and continue typing.
There are eight symbols available using the Smart Punctuation key (including . ,
- ’ @ : ? ;). For additional symbols, see “Symbols Mode (SYM)” on page 84.
Symbols Mode (SYM)
You can also enter punctuation and additional symbols using Symbols Mode
(SYM). There are four screen pages within symbols mode, offering 32 different
symbols.

From any screen that displays one of the four text
entry modes (word, alpha, SYM, NUM), press
the right
o

Enter the word using multiple key-presses as required for the desired
letters. For example, to type “test”: press
8
once,

four times, and
