Entering Text
At many times when using your phone, you will need
to enter text; for example, when storing a name in the
phonebook, creating your personal greeting or
scheduling events in your calendar. You can enter
alphanumeric characters into your phone by using your
phone’s keypad.
You are provided with the following text input modes:
•
T9(English)
: This mode allows you to enter words
with only one key press per letter. Each key on a
keypad has more than one letter - a single press on
could be J,K or L. The T9 mode automatically
compares your key presses to an internal linguistic
database to determine the correct word. The T9
mode requires far fewer keystrokes than the
traditional multi-tap method, Alpha mode.
•
Alphabet
: This mode allows you to enter letters by
pressing the key labeled with the desired letter
once, twice, or three times until the letter appears
on the display.
• Symbol
: This mode allows you to enter special
characters.
• Number
: This mode allows you to enter numbers.
Note
: T9 mode supplies an appropriate language
database as your language setting menu
(

).
