Entering Text
When using your phone, you will often need to enter text, such as
when storing a name in the Contacts list, creating your personal
greeting or scheduling events on your calendar. You can enter
alphanumeric characters by using your phone’s keypad.
Your phone has the following text input modes:
♦T9 mode: This mode allows you to enter words with only one
keystroke per letter. Each key on the keypad has more than one
letter; for example, when you press the 5 key once, J, K or L
displays. T9 mode automatically compares your keystrokes with
an internal linguistic dictionary to determine the correct word,
thus requiring far fewer keystrokes than the traditional Alphabet
mode.
♦Alphabet mode: this mode allows you to enter letters by pressing
the key labeled with the letter you want. Press the key once, twice,
three or four times until the desired character displays.
♦Number mode: this mode allows you to enter numbers.
♦Symbol mode: this mode allows you to enter various symbols and
special characters.
Changing the Text Input Mode
When you are in a field that allows characters to be entered, you will
notice the text input mode indicator on the display.
