Entering Text on Your Phone
When you want to enter text into your phone (for example, a name in the
phonebook), use the twelve-key dial pad to enter the letters printed on the
number keys. Here’s how it works:
• The phone enters the letters in the order they appear on the key. For
example, if you press the number key
2
once, the phone enters the letter
A
.
Press
2
twice for
B
, and three times for
C
.
• If you press the key again after the last letter, the phone starts the same letter
sequence with small letters. If you press
2
four times in a row, the phone
enters
a
(small letter). Press
2
fi ve times for
b
, and six times for
c
.
• If you see the icon [
Aa
] in the display, the phone enters capital letters fi rst (
A
B C
), then small letters (
a b c
), and then the number on the key (
2
). The icon
[
aA
] means the phone starts at the small letters, so it enters small letters fi rst,
then the number on the key, and then capital letters.
• The phone automatically uses a capital letter for the fi rst letter and any letter
right after a space; all other times, it uses small letters.
• If two letters in a row use the same number key, enter the fi rst letter, and then
use
