Entering Characters Using Alphabet Mode
To enter characters using Alphabet mode (multi-tap key entry):
1. Select the Alphabetmode. (See “Selecting a Character Input Mode”
on page 35.)
2. Press the corresponding key repeatedly until the desired letter
appears. (For example, to enter the word “Bill,” press twice,
three times, three times, and then press three
times again.) (If you make a mistake, press to erase a single
character. Press and hold to delete an entire word.)
By default, the first letter of an entry is capitalized and the following letters
are lowercased. After a character is entered, the cursor automatically
advances to the next space after two seconds or when you enter a character
on a different key.
Characters scroll in the following order:
Tip
The initial letters of words following spaces can be either upper- or
lowercase depending on shift mode. You can change the shift mode by
pressing [shift*].
