Entering Characters Using Alpha Mode
To enter characters using Alpha mode (multi-tap key entry):
1.
Select the
Alpha
mode (See “Selecting a Character Input
Mode” on page 51).
2.
Press the corresponding keys repeatedly until the
desired letter is displayed. For example, to enter the
word “Bill,” press
twice,
three times,
three
times, and
three times again. (If you make a
mistake, press
to erase a single character. Press and
hold
to delete an entire entry.)
By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the
following letters are lowercased. After a character is entered,
the cursor automatically advances to the next space after two
seconds or when you enter a character on a different key.
Tip:
Text prediction begins providing a list of possible choices if
both the
Text Options > Display Candidate
feature is enabled
and three or more characters are entered.
Note:
Since the T9 prediction listing starts at three letters, when
working with two letters, use the (0) key to begin cycling
through possible two-letter choices. If, as an example, you
type the word
Go
(keys 4 and 6), T9 prediction might provide
the word
In
, but by pressing the (0) key you can cycle through
to the next possible word choice, which is
Go
.
