Rapid Character Entry
Rapid character entry is easy in any mode, using
the Character Selection Field. As you enter
characters, your phone predicts the next
character you might want and presents choices
in the Character Selection Field. When the
character you want appears, you may select it as
described in Step 3 on page 54.
In most cases, the character you want appears
in the Character Selection Field before you enter
all of the strokes to build it.
For example, try typing the twelve stroke
character pair “ ” using the following
keystrokes;
2
,
8
, and
7
. Even though “ ” is a
twelve stroke character pair, your phone enables
you to type it in only three key presses!
Using My Words Mode
This mode allows you to preset Chinese words or
phrases so that you can quickly and easily insert
them into your text while you are creating a
message.
Adding a Word or Phrase onto the My
Words list
1. Press the
Select
soft key when
Add Word
is
highlighted.
2. Enter a word or phrase using Pinyin, Quick
English or Stroke mode and press the
OK
soft
key.
For further details about each mode, see
page 49, page 57 or page 52 respectively.
3. When the character you are typing appears in
the Character Selection Field, you may select it
without finishing the stroke sequence for the
character. Characters displayed in the Character
Selection Field correspond to the keys
7
to
on the keypad. To select a character and add it
to your text, press the corresponding key
(
7
to ).
Notes
:
• If you are uncertain of the order of one or more
strokes, press the

Field or until you finish the character.

Words item (see page 55), the remaining
characters automatically displays. To use the word
you added, press the Right key to move the cursor.
If you don’t want to use it, enter the next
character you want.
