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 keys 2 to 9. 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 or the Up or Down 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. Put a space by pressing the key and start
entering the next word.
