Entering Text from Your Phone
You can use the number keypad on your handset or base to enter text by referring to the letters printed on each
number key. When you press the number key in a text entry eld, the phone displays the rst letter printed on the
number key. Press the number key twice to display the second letter and three times to display the third.
When [Aa] appears on the display, capital letters are displayed rst, then lower case letters, and then the number
on the key.
When [aA] appears on the display, lower case letters are displayed rst, then the number on the key, and then
capital letters.
When you input the rst letter or a letter after a blank space, the default mode is [Aa]. From the next letter, the
mode changes to [aA] automatically.
You can switch back and forth the mode manually between [Aa] and [aA]. Press /TONE; the case (small/capital)
of the letter entered changes also.
If two letters in a row use the same number key, enter the rst letter, then use right on the four-way function key to
move the cursor to the next position to enter the second letter.

Press 6 once to enter M.

cursor to the right.
Press 6 three times to enter o.
