Entering Text on Your Phone
When you want to enter text into your phone (for example, a name
in the phonebook), use the twelve-key dial pad to enter the letters
printed on the number keys. Here's how it works:
The phone enters the letters in the order they appear on the key.
For example, if you press the number key
2
once, the phone
enters the letter
A
. Press
2
twice for
B
, and three times for
C
.
If you press the key again after the last letter, the phone starts the
same letter sequence with small letters. If you press
2
four times
in a row, the phone enters
a
(small letter). Press
2
five times for
b
,
and six times for
c
.
If you see the icon
[Aa]
in the display, the phone enters capital
letters first (
A B C
), then small letters (
a b c
), then the number on
the key (
2
). The icon
[aA]
means the phone starts at the small
letters, so it enters small letters first, then the number on the key,
then capital letters.
The phone automatically uses a capital letter for the first letter and
any letter right after a space; all other times, it uses small letters.
If two letters in a row use the same number key, enter the first
letter, then use
CALLER ID/RIGHT
to move the cursor to the next
position to enter the second letter.

and small letters
