Section 5: Entering Text

This section outlines how to select the desired text input mode
when entering characters into your phone. This section also
describes how to use the T9 predictive text entry system to
reduce the amount of key strokes associated with entering text.

Changing the Text Input Mode

The

Text Input

option allows you to change the text entry

functions from T9 Mode to ABC Mode, Numeric Mode, or
Symbols Mode.

Press and hold the

key to toggle between the T9 Mode and

the ABC Mode.

Short press the

key while in either the T9 Mode or the ABC

Mode to toggle from All Caps to Initial Caps, to Lower Case, or to
Numeric entries.

Press and hold the

key to go into Symbols Mode. To exit

Symbols Mode, press either the

Cancel

soft key, the

soft key

or the

key.

T9 Mode

This mode allows you to enter words with only one

keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more

than one letter; for example, pressing the 5 key can enter

J, K, or L. However, the T9 mode automatically compares

the series of keystrokes you make with an internal

linguistic dictionary to determine the most likely word, thus

requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional Alphabet

mode.

ABC Mode

This mode allows you to enter letters by pressing the key

labeled with the letter or number you want. Press the key

once, twice, three, or four times until it displays.

Numeric Mode

This mode allows you to enter numbers.

Symbols Mode

This mode allows you to enter symbols, such as

punctuation marks.
