Using the T9 Mode
The T9 predictive text input mode 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 the T9 mode:
1. When you are in the T9 mode, start entering a
word by pressing keys
2
to
9
. Press each key
only once for one letter.
Example: To enter “HELLO” in the 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. If the word is correct, start entering the next
word.
Otherwise, press the
0
, 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 between words by pressing the
key.
To add a new word into the T9 dictionary:
1. After pressing the keys corresponding to the
word you want to add, press the
0
or Down key
to display the alternative words.

soft key.
3. If necessary, clear the word using the
C
key and
enter the word you want to add using the
alphabet mode; see page 42.

soft key.
The word is added to the T9 dictionary and
becomes the first word for the associated

Note
: This feature may not be available for some
languages.
• To enter periods, hyphens or apostrophes, press
the
1
key. The T9 mode applies grammar rules to
ensure that the correct punctuation is used.
Example: The
1
key is used twice to display two
punctuation marks:
• To shift the case in the T9 mode, use the key.
There are three cases; Lower case (
), Initial
Capital ( ) and Capital lock ( ).
• You can move the cursor by using the Left and
Right keys. To delete letters, press the
C
key.
Press and hold the
C
key to clear the display.
