Shortcut to activate silent mode
You can activate the silent mode by pressing and
holding down
after opening the phone.
Signal strength
You can check the strength of your signal by the
signal indicator (
) on the LCD screen of your
phone. Signal strength can vary, particularly inside
buildings. Moving close to a window may improve
reception.
Entering text
You can enter alphanumeric characters using the
keypad.
For example, storing names in Contacts, writing a
message, creating a personal greeting or scheduling
events in the calendar all require entering text.
The following text input methods are available with
the handset.
T9 mode
This mode lets you enter words with only one
keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has
more than one letter. The T9 mode automatically
compares your keystrokes with an internal
dictionary to determine the correct word,
thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the
traditional ABC mode. This is sometimes known
as predictive text.
ABC mode
This mode lets you enter letters by pressing the
key labelled with the required letter once, twice,
three or four times until the letter is displayed.
123 mode (Number mode)
Type numbers using one keystroke per number.
To change to 123 mode in a text entry field, press
until 123 mode is displayed.
