Entering Text
When using your phone, you will often 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 by using your
phone’s keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
• T9 mode
This mode allows you to enter words with only
one keystroke per letter. Each key on the
keypad has more than one letter – when you
press the
key once, J, K or L displays. The
T9 mode automatically compares your
keystrokes with an internal linguistic dictionary
to determine the correct word, thus requiring
far fewer keystrokes than the traditional
upper/lower-case character modes.
• Upper/lower-case character modes
These modes allow you to enter letters by
pressing the key labelled with the required
letter once, twice, three or four times until the
letter displays.
• Symbol mode
This mode allows you to enter various symbols
and special characters.
• Number mode
This mode allows you to enter numbers.
