Entering Text
Your PCS Phone makes it easy to enter words,letters,
punctuation,and numbers whenever you need to enter text
(for example,when entering a Phone Book entry or when
using the phone’s messaging features).They are:
T9Word: Allows you to enter text using a predictive text
entering system that reduces the amount of keys that need
to be pressed while entering a word.
Abc: Allows you to cycle through the alpha characters
associated with the letters on the keypad.
123: Allows you to enter numbers by pressing the
corresponding number on the keypad.
Symbols: Allows you to enter symbols using the keypad.
Smileys: Allows you to enter emoticons with your text
message.
Canned Messages: Saves time by allowing you to enter
pre-programmed messages.
To enter text on your PCS Phone:
1. Display a screen that allows for text entry.(For example,
saving a new contact name and phone number.
)
2. Using the keypad to enter text,press the numbered keys
repeatedly until the desired letter appears.(For example,
to type “Bill,”
press twice, three times,
three times,and three times again.)
After a character is entered,the cursor automatically
advances to the next space after two seconds or when you
enter a character on a different key.If you make a mistake
while entering text,press to erase one letter at a time,
or press and hold to erase the entire entry.
