How do I use Predictive Text?
Predictive text allows words to be entered more efficiently using a single keypress for each letter, as
opposed to multiple keypresses in multi-tap text mode. Compare how to write the word ‘the’:
Traditional multi-tap text mode (ABC, abc)
Predictive Text Mode (En)
Press 8 (tuv) once to select ‘t’
Press 8 once for ‘t’
Press 4 (ghi) twice to select ‘h’
Press 4 once for ‘h’
Press 3 (def) twice to select ‘e’
Press 3 once for ‘e’

The default text mode is predictive text indicated by
En
in the top right corner of the display
.
