Entering text

Using T9 mode
T9 is a predictive text input mode that allows you to key in
characters using single keystrokes. This text input mode is
based on a built-in dictionary.
To enter a word in T9 mode:
1. When you are in T9 mode, start entering a word by
pressing keys
2
through
9
. Press each key only once
for each letter in a word.
For example, to enter “Hello” in T9 mode, press the
following keys:
4
,
3
,
5
,
5
, and
6
keys.
As you type different words may display until enough
letters are entered to match the word you want.
2. Enter the whole word before editing or deleting the
keystrokes.
3. When the word displays correctly, go to step 4.
If the word doesn’t display correctly, press or use
the Up or Down key to display alternative word choices
for the keys that you have pressed.
For example, if you type
6
,
3
, your phone displays “of”;
however, if you wanted “me” press the Up or Down key to
scroll through the other matches until it displays. Your
phone displays the most commonly used choice first.
4. Insert a space by pressing the key.
