Using T9 (Predictive Text) Mode
T9 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, T9 mode automatically compares the
series of keystrokes you make with an internal linguistic
dictionary to determine the most likely work, thus
requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional
Alphabet mode.
Entering 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.
For example, to enter “hello” in T9 mode, press the
4,3,5,5,
and
6
keys.
The word 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 to display alternative word choices
for the keys that you have pressed.
For example, both “Of” and “Me” have 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.
