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 the
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.
Smart Punctuation
You can enter periods, hyphens, and apostrophes by
pressing the
1
key. The T9 mode applies rules of
grammar to insert the correct punctuation. Notice that
the
1
key is used twice in this example to display two
punctuation marks:
