Writing text
General
Your phone offers two ways of
writing text:
• The conventional method. You
press a number key repeatedly
until the required character
appears.
• The T9 method. You write a word,
pressing each number key only
once.
Conventional writing
To switch to conventional writing:
F
Press.
Alpha mode
Select.
Press a number key repeatedly until
the required character appears.
Make a pause until the cursor
appears to the right of the written
character. Write next character and
so on.
After the characters of a key its
number is written, followed by
similar characters used in foreign
languages.
T9 writing
To switch to T9 writing:
F
Press.
Dictionary on
Select.
If T9 text input is switched on this
icon is shown:
T9 deduces the correct word from
the individual key entries by making
comparisons with an extensive
dictionary. Since the display changes
as you proceed ...
... it is best if you finish a word without
looking at the display.
You simply press the keys where the
relevant letter is located
once only
.
For "hotel", for example, type:
4 6 8 3 5
While you write a word it is
underlined. If it is correct move the
cursor to the right or insert a space.
If the word is incorrect and the
cursor marks the word:
B
Press Next T9 repeatedly
to view matching words
stored in the dictionary.
If the last match is
reached, you can add the
word as a new entry to
the dictionary.
A
Press Spell to write the
new word. Press OK
to
save it to the dictionary.
