•For each letter of the word that you want to spell, press the corresponding key on your keypad only once, even if the letter you want is not the first letter on the key. The phone “guesses” the word you are trying to spell.

•If a displayed word is not correct, press the Star key to see other matches. To move forward through a list of matches, keep pressing the Star key.

To return to the previous word in the list of matches, select Previous.

•Press the 0 key to accept the word, enter a space, and begin writing the next word.

•If ? appears after a word, select Spell to add the word to the dictionary. See “Add new words to the dictionary” on page 21.

•Press the 1 key to insert a period into your message.

•Press and hold the Star key to display special characters. See “Enter punctuation and special characters” on page 21.

Compound words

Enter the first part of the word and confirm it by pressing the Scroll right key. Enter the last part of the word and confirm it by pressing the 0 key.

Add new words to the dictionary

If you encounter a word that predictive text does not recognize, a question mark (?) follows the word and Spell appears in the lower left of the display.

Select Spell, enter your new word using the keypad, and select Save. The word is added to the dictionary and to the message that you are writing.

Keep these factors in mind when adding words:

•New words that you accept by selecting Save, the 0 key, or deleting the space between two words are saved to the dictionary.

•Depending on the language and the length of the words, you may be able to add hundreds of words to the dictionary.

•When the dictionary is full, the most recent addition replaces the first.

•ENTER PUNCTUATION AND SPECIAL CHARACTERS

While at any text entry screen, press the Star key to display special characters (press and hold the Star key if predictive text is on) or press the Star key twice to display the Smiley menu.

Navigate through the list of special characters by using the four-way scroll key like a joystick. Once a character is highlighted, select Insert to insert the character into your message.
