T9®text input feature
This is a feature enabling you to more easily use SMS messaging. Unlike the conventional way of en- tering/editing texts where you have to press one key up to several times to enter the desired letter, the T9 feature allows you to com- pose text messages with only one keypress per letter.
T9 Text Input compares your key- presses to words in its own linguis- tic database and displays the most commonly used matching word.
Example: Try to type »Call office« by pressing the following keys in order:
As you saw, the displayed word changed as you typed it. Therefore, always type to the end of the word before you start editing.
If the displayed word is the one
you intended, just press 
to insert a space before the next word and continue entering the next word.
If the displayed word is not the one you intended, use the arrow
keys 
and 
to scroll through alternative word choices. When you see the correct word , press 
to insert a space before the next word and continue entering the next word.
When you have completed your message, press »ACCEPT« to con- firm the last word and then »OK« to send the message.
The first letter will always be capi- talized, which is indicated by the 
symbol in the upper
case. Press 
if you want to enter an uppercase letter again.
If you want to activate the caps
lock function, press 
twice. While the caps lock is active the
symbol 
will be seen in the dis- play. To disable the caps lock func-
tion, just press 
again.
To enter digits into your message,
press 
.
A grid of digits appears and you can press the digit you want to enter.
In T9 mode, periods, hyphens and apostrophes are automatically inserted in the highlighted word by
pressing 
.
Additional punctuation and sym- bols can also be accessed by
pressing 
.You will now have access to five different pages con- taining up to 9 symbols each. You can scroll through the pages by using the arrow keys. You select the intended symbol by pressing the relevant key, e.g. on page one 7 corresponds to “@“. Just press »EXIT« to return to your text mes- sage if you do not want to enter an additional punctuation.
Typing words not found in the T9
linguistic database
While in T9 mode, press the
side key until the 
or 
indicator appears in
the display.
Type the word.
Press the side key until the 
indicator appears in the
display again, and continue using T9 mode.
Adding words to the
T9 linguistic database
Follow steps 1 to 2 as described above. When you have completed the word you want to store, press the side key to return to T9 mode. The word is automatically stored in the database.
Writing compound words
Long, compound words may not be in T9’s linguistic database, but often their individual parts are available.
Enter the first part of the word, press »ACCEPT« and then enter the second part.
The memory of the database can be filled. When this happens, words which are never or rarely used will be deleted to make room for the words you want to store.
Different T9 languages
The T9 linguistic database is offered in a variety of languages and is independent of the language of your phone. Normally you will prob- ably set your phone to your local language, but from time to time it might be convenient to select other languages.
Selection of the T9 language is explained in the Setup menu under Message setup (p. 70).
Disabling the T9 feature
If your normal local language is not supported by the T9 database, you have to enter your text messages in the conventional way with multi- ple presses per letter, and if this is the case, it may be convenient to disable the T9 feature.
