Type text

To type in most fields, use the SureType™ input method. Press each letter key once until you have typed an entire word. When you use SureType technology, the letters on the screen should change automatically until the word is complete.

For example, to type the word run, press ER + UI + BN. Press the Space key.

If you type all the letters in a word and the word does not appear correctly, or if more than one word is available for the keys that you pressed, use the list that appears on the screen to build a word.

•To move through selections in the list, press the Next key. You can also roll the trackwheel to move forward and backward in the list.

•To choose a selection from the list and continue typing the same word, press the Enter key or click the trackwheel.

•To choose a selection from the list and begin typing a new word, press the Space key.

•To delete letters that you have typed, press the Backspace/Delete key.
