Entering Characters by Tapping the Keypad
To enter characters by tapping the keypad:
1.
Select the
Alpha
mode. (See “Selecting a Character Input
Mode” on page 38.)
2.
Press the corresponding keys repeatedly until the
desired letter appears. (For example, to enter the word
“Bill,” press
twice,
three times,
three
times, and
three times again.) (If you make a
mistake, press
to erase a single character. Press and
hold
to delete an entire entry
.)
By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the
following letters are lower cased. After a character is entered,
the cursor automatically advances to the next space after
two seconds or when you enter a character on a different key.
