T9® Text Input .................................................................................................. ..................................
Using this mode of text input dramatically reduces the number of key presses required:
Press a key once for any letter you require on that key. The desired letter may not be displayed. Continue pressing other keys until
the end of a word is reached; then check that the word has been typed correctly before continuing on to the next word. If the
combination of letters typed has produced a word which is not the one you require, press
A
repeatedly until the correct word is
displayed. Continue to the next word.
