Using T9 mode
T9 is a predictive text input mode that allows you to
key in any character 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 the
2
to
9
keys. Press each key only
once for each letter.
Example: To enter “Hello” in T9 mode,
press the
4
,
3
,
5
,
5
, and
6
keys.
The word that you are typing appears on the
display. It may change with each key that you
press.
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 the
0
key repeatedly to display alternative word
choices for the keys that you have pressed.
Example: Both “Of” and “Me” use the
6
and
3
keys. The phone displays the most
commonly used choice first.
4. Insert a space by pressing the key and start
entering the next word.
• To enter periods or apostrophes, press the
1
key. T9 mode applies grammar rules to choose
the correct punctuation.
• You can move the cursor by pressing the
Navigation keys. To delete letters, press the
C
key. Press and hold the
C
key to clear the
entire display.
