Predictive text input

Note: The predictive text feature is based on a built-in dictionary to which you can add words. Your phone includes several different language versions of this dictionary. Although your phone may be able to display a given language on the screen, it does not necessarily contain a predictive text dictionary of that same language.

Predictive mode is indicated by the presence of the predictive text icon ( ) at the top of the display. If the icon does not appear, predictive mode has been deactivated. To activate it, press Options. Scroll to Predictive text. Scroll until the name of the language in which you want to edit your message appears. Press OK.

Writing words

To write a word, press each key only once for each letter of the word. For example, to write hello, press 4 3 5 5 6. The characters that you enter appear underlined. The word changes after each keystroke, so try not to pay attention to how the word appears on the display until you have pressed all the appropriate keys.

When you finish writing the word, check to ensure that the word is correct. If the word is correct, enter a space (press ) and write the next word. If the word is incorrect and

is underlined, press repeatedly until the desired word appears, OR press Options, scroll to Matches, then press OK. Your phone displays a list of words. Choose a word from the

list, then press Use, OR, press to exit and return to the message editor.

If the ? character appears after the word, there are no more words in the dictionary that correspond to your key presses. At this point, you can add the word to the dictionary by pressing Spell.
