Entering Characters Using the Dialpad
Use the dialpad keys 0 through 9, * and # to enter characters in a text entry field/line.
When entering a name or other alphabetic text, the first press of a dialpad key displays the first alphabetic character associated with that key to the right of the current cursor position. This character is shown in the case displayed on the alpha softkey. The cursor does not move. A subsequent press of the same key replaces the character shown with the next alphabetic character assigned to that key. You can use the # and * keys to display those symbols, even in alpha and ALPHA mode.
For example, with the Mode softkey displaying “ALPHA” or “alpha,” pressing the “2” on your dialpad displays the letter “A” or “a,” depending upon which alphabetic mode is active. Pressing the 2 key again replaces the A with a “B” (or “b”). Pressing the same key again replaces the B with a “C” (or “c”). Pressing the same key again replaces the C with an “A” (or “a”), and so on. Pressing a different key moves the cursor one position to the right and displays the first alphabetic character associated with that key. Repeat this key press/entry process to complete the text field. In addition, you can use the Bksp or Space softkeys to move the cursor to the left or right, respectively.
When the Mode softkey displays Num, your telephone recognizes a key press as a number (or a typographic character such as * or #), and advances the cursor one position to the right.
When the Mode softkey displays Symbol, use the Line/Feature buttons to select the desired symbol. Use the More softkey or the Page Right or Page Left buttons on the phone to access additional pages of symbols. When selected, the symbol is automatically inserted to the right of the last character in that field on that line, and you automatically return to the alpha mode.
