Using the T9 (English) Mode
To type a word, press keys corresponding to the letters
you need. Remember the following as you are typing:
1. Press alphanumeric keys on the keypad just once per
letter. For example, to enter “Hello”, press the
4
,
3
,
5
,
5
and
6
keys.
The word you are typing appears on the display. It may
change with each key press.
2. Type to the end of the word before editing or deleting
any keystrokes.
3. Put a space between words by pressing the
key.
If the word that appears on the display is not the
word that you desire, press
0
key one or more times
to display alternative word choices for the keys you
have typed. For example, both “of” and “me” have
the sequence of the
6
key and
3
key. The phone
displays the most commonly used choice first.
4. Continue entering the next word.
