Using T9 mode
To input a word in T9 mode:
1. Start entering the word by pressing keys
2
to
9
.
Press each key only once for each letter.
Example: To enter “hello” in the T9 mode, press
the
4
,
3
,
5
,
5
, and
6
keys.
The word you are typing appears on the display.
It may change with each key that you press.
2. Enter the whole word before editing or deleting
any keystrokes.
3. If the word is correct, start entering the next
word. Otherwise, while the word is highlighted,
press the
0
key repeatedly to display alternative
word choices for the keys that you have
pressed.
Example: Both “of” and “me” have the same
sequence of
6
and
3
. The phone displays
the most commonly used choice first.
4. Insert a space between words by pressing the
key.
5. Enter the next word.
If
Spell
appears above the left soft key while you
are entering text, the word does not exist in the T9
dictionary. To type words not found in the T9
dictionary, change the text input mode to the ABC
mode, or proceed as follows:
1. Press the
Spell
soft key, or press the right soft
key and select the
Add word
option.
2. Enter the word you want to add using the ABC
mode (see page 55) and press the
OK
soft key.
