Getting to know your phone
General instructions
Regardless of which input method you choose,
your phone has a function to speed up the entry of
Chinese characters. Whenever you enter a stroke or
a Pinyin letter, a candidate row of the most
frequently used characters containing that stroke
or relating to that letter, appears at the bottom of
the screen.
If the character you want is not displayed in the
candidate row, press
to present another
candidate row. Continue pressing
until the
character you want is displayed. Alternatively, you
can enter the next stroke or Pinyin letter, and a new
set of characters will immediately be displayed in
the candidate row. To go back to the previous row,
press
. To select a character in the candidate
row, press the navigation key or press and hold the
key corresponding to the number above the
character you want to enter.
